Question: How to define outputFormat parameter for WFS at operation level?

[Kate-Lyndegaard]

Hi,

I would like to configure the allowed outputFormat parameters for each operation my deegree WFS offers. The INSPIRE validator can make DescribeFeatureType requests, for example, for various output formats which can lead to errors. Please see INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator#29 for further information.

Does anyone have an example of how to configure this? I cannot find an example in the deegree documentation.

Hi,

Thank you for the question.

Am I understanding you correctly that you try to configure the output format to be defined as a child of the operation element?
E.g.:

...
    <ows:Operation name="DescribeFeatureType">
      <ows:DCP>
        <ows:HTTP>
          <ows:Get xlink:href="https://test/wfs"/>
          <ows:Post xlink:href="https://test/wfs"/>
        </ows:HTTP>
      </ows:DCP>
      <ows:Parameter name="outputFormat">
        <ows:AllowedValues>
          <ows:Value>application/gml+xml; version=3.2</ows:Value>
        </ows:AllowedValues>
      </ows:Parameter>
    </ows:Operation>
...

However, deegree is defining it as child of OperationsMetadata per default?
E.g.:

...
  <ows:OperationsMetadata>
    <ows:Operation name="GetCapabilities">
...
    </ows:Operation>
    <ows:Operation name="DescribeFeatureType">
...
    </ows:Operation>
    <ows:Operation name="ListStoredQueries">
...
    </ows:Operation>
    <ows:Operation name="DescribeStoredQueries">
...
    </ows:Operation>
    <ows:Operation name="GetFeature">
...
    </ows:Operation>
    <ows:Operation name="GetPropertyValue">
...
    </ows:Operation>
...
    <ows:Parameter name="outputFormat">
      <ows:AllowedValues>
        <ows:Value>application/gml+xml; version=3.2</ows:Value>
        <ows:Value>application/xml; subtype="gml/3.2.1"</ows:Value>
      </ows:AllowedValues>
    </ows:Parameter>
...
  </ows:OperationsMetadata>
...

Is this the correct understanding of your problem? If not, can you please provide more details?

Hi @dstenger,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, that is my question. I would like to know if it is possible to define the allowed outFormat(s) as child elements for each operation type.
