WFS 1.1

Testing Framework

In developing wfs 1.1 for ows4, is a mock testing framework for geoserver.

WFS Model

The WFS 1.1 implementation is based off of an EMF model generated directly from the wfs schema itself.

Service/Request Architecture

The WFS 1.1 implemntation in GeoServer is based off of a newly designed service architecture. A simple example of which can be found here.

OWS Dispatching

Part of the new Service / Request Model is dispatching requests to services. An improved ows dispatching system has been developed which handles much of the of disaptching a request to a service. Tasks performed include:

Parsing of key value pairs in GET requests
Parsing of xml in POST requests
Property setting and operation execution based on reflection

The dispatching system is documented in detail here.
