Openlayers-3 WFS-T (Post feature to postgis via geoserver) - postgis

Question

I have a problem with posting features from ol3 into postgis db via geoservers wfs.When i run this code, i only manage to insert gid(pk) and bin columns but the_geom(Geometry) column is empty.
function addInteraction() {
draw = new ol.interaction.Draw({
features: featureOverlay.getFeatures(),
type: /** #type {ol.geom.GeometryType} */ (typeSelect.value)
});
draw.on('drawend', function(evt) {
var feature = evt.feature;
feature.set('bin', 0);
var fid = feature.getId();
var node = format.writeTransaction([feature], null, null, {
gmlOptions: {srsName: "EPSG:3857"},
featureNS: "fiware",
featureType: "nyc_buildings"
});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://192.168.4.33:9090/geoserver/wfs",
data: new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(node),
contentType: 'text/xml',
success: function(data) {
var result = format.readTransactionResponse(data);
feature.setId(result.insertIds[0]);
},
error: function(e) {
var errorMsg = e? (e.status + ' ' + e.statusText) : "";
bootbox.alert('Error saving this feature to GeoServer.<br><br>'
+ errorMsg);
},
context: this
});
});
map.addInteraction(draw);
}
Xml that i get is:
<Transaction xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" service="WFS" version="1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/WFS-transaction.xsd http://192.168.4.33:9090/geoserver/grp/wfs/DescribeFeatureType?typename=fiware:nyc_buildings">
<Insert>
<nyc_buildings>
<geometry>
<Polygon xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/gml" srsName="EPSG:3857">
<exterior>
<LinearRing srsName="EPSG:3857">
<posList>-12682023.77343518 4567060.841291264 -11077457.675672762 2571137.15870874 -9629434.611838378 5819405.112715591 -12682023.77343518 4567060.841291264
</posList>
</LinearRing>
</exterior>
</Polygon>
</geometry>
<bin>0</bin>
</nyc_buildings>
</Insert>
</Transaction>
And xml that i know it works is:
<wfs:Transaction

Any idea?

Here is more complete code regarding wfs-t:
var format = new ol.format.WFS({featureNS:"fiware",featureType:'fw_core',schemaLocation:"http://www.opengis.net/wfs \
http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/WFS-transaction.xsd \
http://192.168.4.33:9090/geoserver/grp/wfs/DescribeFeatureType?typename=fiware:fw_core"});
function addInteraction() {
draw = new ol.interaction.Draw({
features: featureOverlay.getFeatures(),
type: /** #type {ol.geom.GeometryType} */ (typeSelect.value)
});
draw.on('drawend', function(evt) {
// create a unique id
// it is later needed to delete features
// give the feature this id
var feature = evt.feature;
feature.set('geometry', feature.getGeometry());
var node = format.writeTransaction([feature], null, null, {
gmlOptions: {srsName: "EPSG:3857"},
featureNS: "fiware",
featureType: "fiware:fw_core"
});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://192.168.4.33:9090/geoserver/wfs",
data: new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(node),
contentType: 'text/xml',
success: function(data) {
var result = format.readTransactionResponse(data);
feature.setId(result.insertIds[0]);
},
error: function(e) {
var errorMsg = e? (e.status + ' ' + e.statusText) : "";
bootbox.alert('Error saving this feature to GeoServer.<br><br>'
+ errorMsg);
},
context: this
});
});
map.addInteraction(draw);
}
Also when defining vector layer on Geoserver, in publishing tab you must define what column you are using as geometry column.
Another thing, depending on OpenLayers 3 version you might need to use node.impl instead of just node in this line of code:
new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(node.impl)
Hope it helps!

Answer 2

I figured it out,
because the name of the column was geometry i had to set attribute with same name.So what i did is:
draw.on('drawend', function(evt) {
var feature = evt.feature;
feature.set('geometry', feature.getGeometry());
var fid = feature.getId();
var node = format.writeTransaction([feature], null, null, {
gmlOptions: {srsName: "EPSG:3857"},
featureNS: "fiware",
featureType: "nyc_buildings"
});
