[udig-devel] WFS bugs in RC8 Fixed

Hi,

I've finally been able to determine the problem with the viewing WFS  
layers and have been able to fix them.  It seems that the Geotools  
implementation of the WFS client returns the Bounds in lat long  
rather than in the CRS of the data.  All other data stores do the  
latter so if the WFS data is not in Lat Long sometimes the data would  
not be displayed, or at least not correctly.

Also I discovered that MapServer POST does not work fortunately uDig  
(by default) first tries POST and if it fails then tries GET.   I  
would recommend when importing a WFS layer that you check GET in the  
Advanced section of the wizard page.

The last major bug I found was that MapServer does not return the  
correct results if a query is made that does not have a filter.  In  
this case MapServer is supposed to return all the features but often  
only returns a few.  I have created a work around for this so it will  
work correctly for the next release.

Jesse
