[udig-devel] Create feature in postgis

[Jesse Eichar]

There is a somewhat hidden way of creating a layer directly in  
postGIS.  However I believe there is a bug that hasn't been fixed.  If  
the FeatureType has a String attribute it tries to make a field that  
has a limit of Integer.MAX_VALUE.  Which postgis doesn't like.  But  
you can play with this functionality:

1. Import your Postgis into the catalog
2. Select the Postgis service (not GeoResource) in the catalog
3. Right click Select Operations>Create Feature Type

Voila a new feature type is created.  Add it to a map and start editing.
