[Geotools-devel] WMS GetFeatureInfo GML output

[Niels <nie...@cs...>]

Hi,

I am currently working on making WMS compatible with app-schema (complex 
features).
I noticed that GetFeatureInfo can only output GML 2 (when choosing gml 
as output format). However complex features can't be encoded in GML2, 
only GML3.

Somehow GML3 will have to be supported in GetFeatureInfo to be able to 
support complex features. But how would be configured which version to 
use ?  (without changing request specifications!)

Ben Caradoc-Davies has suggested that it shouldn't really be the user 
who specifies which version of GML to use. He has suggested that 
depending on which feature type is being returned, an appropriate 
(default?) version should be chosen or suggested by the data provider. 
Also considering that different versions of geosciml run on different 
versions of gml. This would hit the core of geotools, though. But Ben 
can probably explain this part better.

AnY thoughts?
