Step 14: WFS configuration

<- Step 13: User config 

 

 

Below you will find a short guide on how to upload a layer and publish it as WFS to another geGIS application. To this end we use the following structure

Configuration:

  

Tasks on PC1 :

PC1 will contain the layer that is published as WFS.

To this end an existing layer can be used or a new shapefile can be uploaded (see Step11: Your own data).

It is important to activate the layer as WFS after the feature type has been created. This is done by adding the element yes to the info.xml file of the feature type. You should not forget to correctly set the bounds for the SRS 313000 (Lambert) either. An example: example.

  

Tasks on PC2 :

On PC2 the layer of PC1 is used through a WFS DataStore. This DataStore will set up the connection with the WFS server on PC1.
An example of a WFS DataStore configuration is available in catalog.xml. However, in this configuration the IP address should be replaced by the correct IP address of PC1.
After that, a feature type must be configured aswell.
