[Geoserver-users] Layer data columns from WFS

[Santiago T. <sti...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have several shapefile datastores and I would like to show in a client
application the set of attributes for a given layer. Is it possible to
obtain the set of data columns via WFS?

Thanks in advance,

Santi

Use the DescribeFeatureType WFS request, it gives you back the xml schema
of the GML, which in turns contains all elements and their types
