Table 1: Properties for Configuration and Initialization
Property Description and Default Values
wfs.matching.
layer.name.action
wfs.invalid.characters.
action
The
wfs.share.matching.layer.name.action
determines the result when the WFS
servlet detects identically named layers
in the data sources. When the servlet
detects duplicate names, the options are:
exception: It produces an error
message.
ignore: It publishes the first layer and
ignores the remaining layers with
identical names.
mangle: It appends sequential numbers
to duplicate names starting with number
1.
The default is mangle.
The wfs.invalid.characters.action
property determines the result when the
servlet encounters a name that contains
characters that are incompatible with
GML such as spaces, tabs, and
punctuation marks. When the servlet
detects an incompatibility, the options
are:
exception: It produces an error message
and prevents the servlet from starting.
This option is useful to identify names
that do not follow the GML naming
convention.
ignore: It creates GML with XML tag
names and attributes that are not valid
nor well formed.
mangle: It converts the name into one
that is compatible with GML.
The default is mangle.
Table 1: Properties for Configuration and Initialization
Property Description and Default Values
wfs.bad.file.action
wfs.transaction.allow
The wfs.bad.file.action property
determines the result when the servlet
encounters a file that cannot be read
such as when the file is corrupted or uses
a file format that is not compatible with
Geomatica.
exception: It produces an error message
and prevents the servlet from starting. If
a user tries to access this WFS via an
HTTP request, the server produces an
exception message stating that an
unusable file was detected.
ignore: The unusable file is not
published.
The default is ignore.
The wfs.transaction.allow property
defines the read/write property of the
publishable files on the WFS servlet. The
files remain read-only in the Geomatica
WFS client even if this property is set to
“true”.
false: files are read-only
true: files are read/write enabled
The default is false.
