20. As shown in the previous recipe, a typical WFS request is
GetFeature
,
which will result in a GML response. Try it, for example, by typing the
URL,
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/
wfs?service=wfs&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=postgis_cookbook:counties&maxFeatures=5
,
in your browser. You will receive a GML output composed of a
<w-
fs:FeatureCollection>
element and a collection of
<gml:featureMember>
elements (possibly five elements, as specified in
the
maxFeatures
request'sparameter).Youwillgetanoutputthatissimilar
to the following code:
<gml:featureMember>
<postgis_cookbook:counties
