[PostGIS - OWS] ungraceful results when database is not running #1221

If I run a WMS or WFS request against a layer which is stored in PostGIS, if the
database is not running, my request comes back blank, or no results.

Suggest a ServiceException with an error message saying the DB is down.

Author: tomkralidis Date: 2007/09/27 - 19:39 Looks like there have been some changes since this ticket was instantiated.

FYI, when the DB is down, a !ServiceException is returned for WFS !GetFeature requests, but not !DescribeFeatureType requests. WMS seems to work fine now.

So we need to fix WFS !DescribeFeatureType requests.

Author: tomkralidis Date: 2007/09/27 - 19:51 More info: in the case of !DescribeFeatureType, if invoking againts multiple feature types (e.g. no typename parameter passed), then it would be safer to produce a warning rather a !ServiceException report, seeing that some (non-DB) feature types may work and some may not.

This is the current behaviour in mapwfs.c.

Closing this for now as a result.
