[Geoserver-users] GetFeature schema customization outputformat comparison

[Ravi P. <rav...@ym...>]

Hi,

I am using a basic WFS on Geoserver(2.0.2)and wanted to limit the attributes 
through "schema customization" to be shown in getfeature. I was following the 
2.0.2 documentation and was not completely able to do that.

As per 
http://docs.geoserver.org/2.0.2/user/services/wfs/schemamapping.html#schema-customization

"copy schema.xsd $GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/featureTypes/<ds>_myDataset/"

There is no featureTypes folder in geoserver data directory which contains 
coverages,data,demo,gwc etc folders . Looks like the documentation was outdated 
for this page.

I looked at 2.1.x user manual 
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/services/wfs/schemamapping.html#schema-customization

"copy schema.xsd  
$GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/workspaces/<workspace>/<datastore>/myDataset/"

The above directory structure exists in 2.0.2 and I was succesfully able to 
limit the attributes in the describefeaturetype call.

But when I tried to use GetFeature for a given typeName with 

1) WFS 1.1.0 and GML2/GML3 outputformat
Customized list of attributes is populated..
Logs:No Errors

2) WFS 1.1.0 and shape-zip outputformat
The entire list of  attributes is populated..
Logs:No Errors

Is this an expected behavior with different output formats? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ravi.
