Attributes

NameOccTypeDescriptionNotes
service [0..1]ows:ServiceType The service attribute is included to support service endpoints that implement more than one OGC service. For example, a single CGI that implements WMS, WFS and WCS services. The endpoint can inspect the value of this attribute to figure out which service should process the request. The value WFS indicates that a web feature service should process the request. This parameter is somewhat redundant in the XML encoding since the request namespace can be used to determine which service should process any give request. For example, wfs:GetCapabilities and easily be distinguished from wcs:GetCapabilities using the namespaces. Default value is "WFS". from type wfs:BaseRequestType
version [0..1]xsd:string The version attribute is used to indicate the version of the WFS specification that a request conforms to. All requests in this schema conform to V1.1 of the WFS specification. For WFS implementations that support more than one version of a WFS sepcification ... if the version attribute is not specified then the service should assume that the request conforms to greatest available specification version. Default value is "1.1.0". from type wfs:BaseRequestType
handle [0..1]xsd:string The handle attribute allows a client application to assign a client-generated request identifier to a WFS request. The handle is included to facilitate error reporting. A WFS may report the handle in an exception report to identify the offending request or action. If the handle is not present, then the WFS may employ other means to localize the error (e.g. line numbers). from type wfs:BaseRequestType
outputFormat [0..1]xsd:stringDefault value is "GML3".
traverseXlinkDepth [1..1]xsd:string This attribute indicates the depth to which nested property XLink linking element locator attribute (href) XLinks are traversed and resolved if possible. A value of "1" indicates that one linking element locator attribute (href) XLink will be traversed and the referenced element returned if possible, but nested property XLink linking element locator attribute (href) XLinks in the returned element are not traversed. A value of "*" indicates that all nested property XLink linking element locator attribute (href) XLinks will be traversed and the referenced elements returned if possible. The range of valid values for this attribute consists of positive integers plus "*".
traverseXlinkExpiry [0..1]xsd:positiveInteger The traverseXlinkExpiry attribute value is specified in minutes. It indicates how long a Web Feature Service should wait to receive a response to a nested GetGmlObject request.

Sample instance

<wfs:GetGmlObject traverseXlinkDepth="string">
   <ogc:GmlObjectId gml:id="ID"/>
</wfs:GetGmlObject>
