MapInfo Pro does not support Web Feature Service with transactions (WFS-T) for WFS 2.0 and 1.1. A WFS-T lets WFS clients apply edits (inserts, deletes, and updates) to the data in the source database through the WFS service. If you are using the WFS 2.0 or 1.1 protocol when communicating with a server, then you are unable to use a WFS-T.
For existing WFS-T users, MapInfo Pro continues to support WFS-T when using WFS 1.0. To set a preference to continue using WFS 1.0 and continue supporting WFS-T, do the following:
- On the PRO tab, click Options, and Web Services to open the Web Services Preferences dialog box.
- Select the WFS tab and then click Servers.
- In the WFS Servers List, highlight the server you are working with (a check mark displays beside the server name in the list) and then click Edit.
- In the WFS Server Information dialog box, select Prefer Version 1.0.
Existing WFS-T users should choose Prefer Version 1.0 to continue to use WFS-T with the servers you are using.
- Click OK to save this setting.
After selecting Prefer Version 1.0, MapInfo Pro communicates with the WFS server using WFS 1.0. If the server does not support 1.0, but does support other versions, then MapInfo Pro switches to another version that both the server and MapInfo Pro support (such as 1.1 or 2.0).
If you select the Automatic option instead of the Prefer Version 1.0 option, MapInfo Pro communicates with the server using the highest version of WFS that both MapInfo Pro and the server support.
