[Geotools-gt2-users] WFS-Plugin: Feature type name without namespace (version 1.1.0)

[Tobias S. <tob...@ca...>]

Hello,

I am trying to use the GeoTools WFS plugin for WFS servers, that do not
have a namespace prefix for the name of the feature type. For example, the
following WFS has two feature types "park" and "popplace":
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?version=1.1.0&request=getcapabilities&service=wfs


        String baseUrl = "http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?";
>         URL url = WFSDataStoreFactory.createGetCapabilitiesRequest(new
> URL(baseUrl), Version.v1_1_0);
>
>         Map connectionParameters = new HashMap();
>
> connectionParameters.put("WFSDataStoreFactory:GET_CAPABILITIES_URL", url);
>
>         DataStore data =
> DataStoreFinder.getDataStore(connectionParameters);
>
>         String[] typeNames = data.getTypeNames();
>         System.out.println(ArrayUtils.toString(typeNames));
>
>         FeatureType schema = data.getSchema("popplace");
>         System.out.println("Schema Attributes:" +
> schema.getDescriptors().size());
>

This small test program outputs:

Mar 21, 2014 4:32:05 PM org.geotools.data.wfs.WFSDataStoreFactory
> determineCorrectStrategy
> INFO: Using WFS Strategy: org.geotools.data.wfs.v1_1_0.DefaultWFSStrategy
> Exception in thread "main" org.geotools.data.SchemaNotFoundException:
> Feature type could not be found for popplace
>     at
> org.geotools.data.wfs.v1_1_0.WFS_1_1_0_DataStore.getSchema(WFS_1_1_0_DataStore.java:260)
>     at fr.brgm.infoterre.web.join.WFSExample.main(WFSExample.java:30)
> {wfs:park,wfs:popplace}


If I request the schema for  "wfs:popplace", I'll get the following
exception:

If I use WFS version 1.0.0 it works, but I would need version 1.1.0. Is
there a workaround to tell the WFS_1_1_0_DataStore not to use namespaces?

Thanks!
