Before you use any Oracle Spatial Service page, select a Data Source from the list of all available data source names. (The currently selected data source is shown in the upper-right corner, and you can change it there at any time.)

The Web Feature Service menu item lets you manage the WFS feature types. It comprises the following tabs:

  • Publish Features: This allows you to publish/unpublish feature types.
  • Service Configuration: This allows you to update the WFSConfig.xml file.
  • Capabilities Template: This allows you to update the GetCapabilities template.
  • Test: This allows you to:
    • Get or query features based on spatial and non-spatial constraints
    • Create a new feature instance (an insert operation)
    • Delete a feature instance
    • Update a feature instance
  • Log: This allows you to check the WFS log files. You can click Refresh to see new log messages generated since the screen was loaded. You can also download a specific log file in zip file format.
