Hi, I am working with GeoServer 2.3.2, using the GetFeatureInfo with INFO_FORMAT=application/vnd.ogc.gml, which gives a GML with all the contents of the feature.
The problem is that it includes the whole geometry and the response reaches in some cases 500kb, so it can be quite slow. I would be interested on a simplified geometry, or even the boundary. I think I can solve this at the application level, for example using WFS or building and querying a simplified version of the layer, but I would like to solve it at the server level so the people that work with the application does not have to bother much. I have seen the possibility to specify the non-standard parameter propertyName and actually take the geometry completely out of the result, but as I said before, I would like to have the boundary, for example. As an external solution to GeoServer, I can think of installing a proxy service that processes the GetFeatureInfo GML output and simplifies the geometries of the result. Any comments to this idea? Do you have any other? Do you think it would be interesting to extend the propertyName parameter to accept the usage of filter functions[1], for example "boundary"? I can imagine something like "propertyName=boundary(geom) as geom,name,gid" Cheers.
