[Gvsig_english] editing with WFS-T

[Jorge Piera Llodrá]

Hello.

The WFS-T functionality for gvSIG was made few years ago like a proof of 
concept. When we developed it, we found several problems with the WFS 
specification.

One of them is that a client has to select the number of minutes that he 
need to lock the features that he want to edit. If he doesn't finish the 
edition before this time stamp, the locked features are unlocked and 
other user could update them. When we develop the client, we didn't find 
a server that allowed to renew the time for the locked features.

We didn't find a solution for these concurrence problem, and we think 
that was better to add the time manually that having the possibility to 
have not synchronized features in the client side.

The WFS-T client for gvSIG has not been tested and this is the reason 
because it is disabled by default in gvSIG 1.1.2.

Regards,
Jorge.
