OGC Web Feature Service

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Feature Service (WFS) supplies WFS functionality.

Requests can be made using the Standard Web Feature Service (WFS) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Feature_Service) URL request.

Base URL Example:

http://<host>/fmeogc/<repository>/<workspace>.fmw

GetCapabilities URL Example:

http://<host>/fmeogc/<repository>/<workspace>.fmw?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.1.0

The resulting response is a WFS formatted XML file containing the requested information or features.

Workspace Published Parameters

This service works with any workspace that writes to a GML dataset and has the following published parameters:

bboxEast: Bounding Box East
bboxWest: Bounding Box West
bboxNorth: Bounding Box North
bboxSouth: Bounding Box South

Note: You must specify the coordinates of the bounding boxes in the coordinate system given by destCoordSystem.

destCoordSystem: Output coordinate system
FEATURE_TYPES: White space delimited feature type names
REQUEST_VERSION: The workspace should contain two destination datasets using GML2 and GML writers. If the value of this parameter is 1.1.0, only the GML (version 3) writer produces output. If the value of this parameter is 1.0.0, only the GML2 writer produces output. No other values are supported.

Note: If a Coordinate System or Bounding Box is not submitted with the WFS query, default values are used. You can configure these default values within the Web Interface.
