[Geoserver-users] (no subject)

[Hendrik S. <Hen...@gm...>]

I’m trying to build an application to synchronize open source server via web feature service.
    The application should mirror the features from the source server to the target server.
    The features are saved in a PostgreSQL Database.
    On the synchronisation the application sends a getFeatures request to the source server, the response will be parsed, and the attributes of the feature are written in an Insert request, this
    request will be send to the target server. As a result of this, I get identical features on the target server and the source server.
    The problem I have is, that the Key value (gid) changes during this operation.
    It seems that geoserver generates a new gid value in place of taking the
    value of the insert request (the highest gid value is added by one). So first:is it a bug or a feature? and second:
    if it's a feature, how can i configure geoserver that it takes MY
    gid-value of the request and not an arbitrary guid?
    I would like to know if it is possible to take over the Key value of the insert Request.
    Example:
    Tag of the insert Request: <cite:states fid="states.246"> old maximum Key value of the source server = 246
    New Key value after insert request at the target server = 247
    Second question is there a maximum number of objects to update?
    When I’m trying to update a huge number of objects I get an error response?
    I will be grateful for your information
    Yours Hendrik
