[Geotools-gt2-users] FeatureCollection to GML3 encoding

[Martin T. <mar...@ge...>]

Dear All, Niels,
I was wondering if you ever solved your GML3 problem - I am trying a 
simple way of converting a featureCollection into GML3, and I just 
wanted to get the actual geometry string...
I am running into the same/similar issue:

I have:
QName ns = new 
QName("http://www.opengis.net/gml","FeatureCollection","gml");
encoder.encode(collection, ns,out);

The name of the feature that it complains about ( Could not find element 
declaration: (http://www.opengis.net/gml, myshp )) is picked from my SHP 
file name, where I am reading the features from.

Stack trace:

Also, what if I want to use my schema, but it is not accessible online 
(and it seems to trigger error arrising from chema not found). Can I 
construct one within geotools?
Cheers
