Geoserver WFS crashes when there are spaces in postgis columns #67

Closed xmichael closed 9 years ago

xmichael commented 9 years ago

This is probably related to the WFS standard which uses XML "tags" as feature names, which don't allow spaces or certain unicode characters. Postgres works just fines with spaces.

As a temporary work-around we will substitute spaces with underscores but we will not be able to associate to the original data any more. We should revisit this post M24.

NOTE: This should be kept in mind when someone proposes a WFS/SOS as a generic data access mechanism.

Unnecessary to say that we are already post M24. This sounds like a master implication that goes through everything in the architecture. And therefore, perhaps you should not think of a temporary work around?

@All: What all must adopt to have this properly crafted?

@xmichael I currently don't see a need "to associate to the original data", so I see no problems with your approach.

xmichael commented 9 years ago

Done. If we ever need to associate we should ban underscores from the authoring tool or think of something else.
