Sanitize invalid XML element names (attribute names)

[jmacura]

When a layer which is being published contains attributes formed as URLs (which is common in the RDF world), the published layer may produce an invalid XML response.

e.g. for this GetFeatureInfo request on WMS layer: https://hub4everybody.com/geoserver/franta_wms/ows?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&QUERY_LAYERS=spoi_italy&LAYERS=spoi_italy&INFO_FORMAT=application/vnd.ogc.gml&feature_count=1&I=6&J=144&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256&CRS=EPSG:3857&STYLES=&BBOX=1023950.4309082218,5695017.229415342,1024103.3049647921,5695170.103471912

the returned FeatureCollection is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><wfs:FeatureCollection xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" xmlns:franta_wms="http://franta_wms" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs https://hub4everybody.com/geoserver/schemas/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd http://franta_wms https://hub4everybody.com/geoserver/franta_wms/wfs?service=WFS&amp;version=1.0.0&amp;request=DescribeFeatureType&amp;typeName=franta_wms%3Aspoi_italy">

see https://github.com/hslayers/hslayers-ng/issues/4036

A correct response shall actually include <rdf:type>http://gis.zcu.cz/SPOI/Ontology#restaurant</rdf:type> instead of <franta_wms:http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22_rdf_syntax_ns_type>http://gis.zcu.cz/SPOI/Ontology#restaurant</franta_wms:http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22_rdf_syntax_ns_type>. With xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" in the XML header (or in the wfs:FeatureCollection node).

@jmacura Thanks for reporting. Could you please add also sample input file (GeoJSON or SHP)?

[jirik]

Could be useful: https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/community/features-templating/index.html

[jmacura]

Provided the problematic layer is this one: https://hub4everybody.com/micka/record/basic/m-967bcafb-d0e0-4f91-9c28-f984cba7fde8 , I guess the original source was this GeoJSON: all-pois-italy.zip

Also, I can now confirm that even WFS GetFeature request contains the invalid XML tags.
