Attributes

NameOccTypeDescriptionNotes
idgen [0..1]wfs:IdentifierGenerationOptionType The idgen attribute control how a WFS generates identifiers from newly created feature instances using the Insert action. The default action is to have the WFS generate a new id for the features. This is also backward compatible with WFS 1.0 where the only action was for the WFS to generate an new id. Default value is "GenerateNew".
handle [0..1]xsd:string The handle attribute allows a client application to assign a client-generated request identifier to an Insert action. The handle is included to facilitate error reporting. If an Insert action in a Transaction request fails, then a WFS may include the handle in an exception report to localize the error. If no handle is included of the offending Insert element then a WFS may employee other means of localizing the error (e.g. line number).
inputFormat [0..1]xsd:string This inputFormat attribute is used to indicate the format used to encode a feature instance in an Insert element. The default value of 'text/xml; subtype=gml/3.1.1' is used to indicate that feature encoding is GML3. Another example might be 'text/xml; subtype=gml/2.1.2' indicating that the feature us encoded in GML2. A WFS must declare in the capabilities document, using a Parameter element, which version of GML it supports. Default value is "text/xml; subtype=gml/3.1.1".
srsName [0..1]xsd:anyURI ===== PAV 12NOV2004 ==== WHY IS THIS HERE? WOULDN'T WE KNOW THE INCOMING SRS FROM THE GML GEOMETRY ELEMENTS? I ASSUME THAT IF THE INCOMING SRS DOES NOT MATCH ONE OF THE STORAGE SRS(s) THEN THE WFS WOULD EITHER PROJECT INTO THE STORAGE SRS OR RAISE AN EXCEPTION.
