WFS DescribeFeatureType returns string for all attributes

[S***@inspq.qc.ca]

Hi,
I'm using mapserv 6.4.1 as a wfs server to publish hundreds of layers.
Most of the Layers are Postgis table or view
DescribeFeatureType on a layer returns "string" as data type for each
attributes. This is an issue when we want to flter on WFS layer.

I saw that this issue was discussed years ago
https://github.com/mapserver/docs/issues/65

Before Adding gml_[item name]_type for each non string attributes of every
layers...Is there a plan to fix this bug?

thank you
Steve

Hi,

TinyOWS publish the schema automatically right and it belongs to the Mapserver family. Perhaps you could have a try with it? Live test server here

Steve,

Does

“gml_types” “auto"

not work for you?
