WMS and WFS problems with GeoServer

[pcav]

A test WMS server is at: ​http://www.lucamorandini.it/geoserver/wms , while the WFS one is at:http://www.lucamorandini.it/geoserver/wfs

As I see it. there are two issues when Quantum GIS and Geoserver interact: 1) QGIS does not retrieve all available styles when listing WMS layers to be added, only the first one ("burg", in this case) is shown; if that style is not applicable to the chosen WMS layer, the layer won't show.

2) QGIS does not prefix WFS requests with the proper namespace, for instance it asks for: GET /wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=region

while TYPENAME should be psc:region instead.

One problem with the WMS server is that it states the url for GetMap requests to be

​http://localhost/... (see below) where it should be ​http://www.lucamorandini.it/geoserver/wms

<GetMap>

Luca has corrected the issue with host name and path returned from GetCapabilities (now the OnlineResource attribute points to: www.lucamorandini.it/geoserver), please check.

And issue 3) is that the WFS server does not provide information about the layer extent. So r10697 contains a failback method to calculate the layer extent if wfs server does not provide one.
