Cannot query for propertyname using namespace

[bartvde@…]

I have defined a namespace for my WFS server:

     wfs_namespace_prefix "stragisweb"
     wfs_namespace_uri "http://www.syncera.nl/stragisweb";

When using a propertyname like stragisweb:MYCOLUMN it does not get interpreted
by Masperver. MYCOLUMN does work though.

We should probably strip all names spaces from the xml. We currently stip gml: and ogc: and I see no side effects if we strip all names spaces. Any objections to this?

[tomkralidis]

If we strip namespaces, and the WFS server defines a namespace, when a WFS client makes a query with no namespace, do we throw an exception?

strip all name spaces (r9452) I am not sure if we throw an exception in the case described in comment #3. I believe that the correct way would be to completely validate the xml (using possible an xml spy for example) and trap all errors. We avoided until now a a validation by using a light weight xml parser but this could be something to consider.
