[Geoserver-users] featureID within GetFeature requests

[Jonathan M. <jon...@wa...>]

Hi List,
I'm trying to use WFS GetFeature to get a specific feature -
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/services/wfs/reference.html#getfeature

The documentation says:

> To limit the output you can restrict the GetFeature request to a single
> feature by including an additional parameter, featureID and providing the
> ID of a specific feature. In this case, the GET request would be:


What does this actually mean? What column is the featureID coming from? I
can do it using a filter, but I'm just trying to understand what the
featureID bit is actually for.
Cheers,
Jonathan
