Description

Trying to attach WFS 2.0 service with endpoint http://services.cuzk.cz/wfs/inspire-CP-wfs.asp? to QGIS 3.0.
Output:

Service does not return data. It works properly in 2.14 using WFS 2.0 plugin.

What about 2.18 selecting the proper WFS version?

#2 Updated by Michal Med about 6 years ago

Never tried 2.18, I was using 2.14, the installed 3.0. I thought that WFS 2.0.0 support was added in QGIS 3.0.

then please test also 2.18, as is the new LTR.

2.18 returns the same:

Is this provider generating storedQueries or using complex features? If so then it won't work, the QGIS WFS 2.0 provider doesn't support that at the moment, only Simple Feature level 0 schema (e.g relational style table). I understand the WFS 2.0 plugin does support storedQueries

Two main issues here:
- buggy server that expects TYPENAMES plural as DescribeFeatureType parameter
- once corrected, the schema returned consists of a single <include schemaLocation="..."/> that we didn't follow yet

Parameter typenames (plural) is required by the OGC service (http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/wfs/text/operations.html). The rest is correct.

#9 Updated by Even Rouault almost 6 years ago

Hum, this is a complete mess...
http://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/09-025r2/09-025r2.html#147 "9.2.3 KVP Encoding" mentions TYPENAME, but "9.3.4.1 typeNames parameter" mention TYPENAMES (and with a remaining occurence of typeName). The XML encoding use TypeName ( in "9.2.2 XML Encoding" and http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/2.0/wfs.xsd ), but they refer to "typeNames" in "9.3.4.1 typeNames parameter".
The "B.8.2 DescribeFeatureType examples" do mention TYPENAMES, but this is an informative annex.
So it seems that the intent was to switch to plural form but a lot of inconsistency exist everywhere in the spec. It would be wise for server implementations to support both TYPENAME and TYPENAMES given this mess.
The issue has been reported to OGC per http://ogc.standardstracker.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530

#10 Updated by Michal Med almost 6 years ago

I'll upgrade the server to accept both singular and plural. The single <include schemaCollection="..."/> is going to be supported in a near future?
