Re: [Geoserver-users] Datastore creation - BBOX?

[Bernd R. <ber...@sb...>]

Hello,

I finally managed to integrate my SWE O&M datastore into GeoServer. 
Thanks a lot for your precious feedback!

However, there's a last problem, which I can't really overlook as it 
probably requires deeper insight in GeoServer's interior processes. 
After having successfully executed GetCapabilities and DescribeFeature 
requests, I tried to send a GetFeature request. This one returned all 
features, but only showed the geom attribute, i.e. no other attributes 
were returned. All other attributes are shown automatically when 
creating the datastore in the "FeatureType Editor".

In a Java test application I wrote (create datastore -> getFeatureReader 
-> next() -> getAttribute()), everything works fine, each of the 
attributes is returned.

Any help would be appreciated!
Bernd.
