v.in.wfs complains about xerces-c support in GDAL

Reported by: alf Owned by: grass-dev@…

Description

Hi,

in a win-vista OS, v.in.wfs (in GRASS installed via OSGeo installer) complains about xerces-c:

ERROR: Unable to open data source <C:PATH_TO_LOCATION/PERMANENT/.tmp/5460.0.xml> ERROR: WFS-XML file not readable. Check if xerces-c support is compiled into GDAL/OGR library.

Best,

Alessandro

can you run "ogrinfo --formats" from the GRASS terminal prompt? (mmph, only know how to really check for support using ldd on linux, see comments about it in the script)

the message to check for xerces-c is just a good guess as to the reason why v.in.ogr failed, not necessarily the definitive reason. but presumably it's because the version of GDAL/OGR shipped with osgeo4w wasn't built to support that.

Hey Hamish,

the osgeo4w was shipped with GDAL 1.8.1, and the WFS is reported in the supported formats list:

ogrinfo --formats Supported Formats:

-> "ESRI Shapefile" (read/write) -> "MapInfo File" (read/write) -> "UK .NTF" (readonly) -> "SDTS" (readonly) -> "TIGER" (read/write) -> "S57" (read/write) -> "DGN" (read/write) -> "VRT" (readonly) -> "REC" (readonly) -> "Memory" (read/write) -> "BNA" (read/write) -> "CSV" (read/write) -> "NAS" (readonly) -> "GML" (read/write) -> "GPX" (read/write) -> "KML" (read/write) -> "GeoJSON" (read/write) -> "Interlis 1" (read/write) -> "Interlis 2" (read/write) -> "GMT" (read/write) -> "SQLite" (read/write) -> "ODBC" (read/write) -> "PGeo" (readonly) -> "MSSQLSpatial" (read/write) -> "OGDI" (readonly) -> "PostgreSQL" (read/write) -> "MySQL" (read/write) -> "PCIDSK" (read/write) -> "XPlane" (readonly) -> "AVCBin" (readonly) -> "AVCE00" (readonly) -> "DXF" (read/write) -> "Geoconcept" (read/write) -> "GeoRSS" (read/write) -> "GPSTrackMaker" (read/write) -> "VFK" (readonly) -> "PGDump" (read/write) -> "GPSBabel" (read/write) -> "SUA" (readonly) -> "OpenAir" (readonly) -> "PDS" (readonly) -> "WFS" (readonly) -> "HTF" (readonly) -> "AeronavFAA" (readonly)

comment:4 by hamish, 13 years ago

hmm, I think you are going to have to look inside of gdal(.exe and or .dll) with Dependency Walker,

http://www.dependencywalker.com

Probably we know xerces-c will be missing, but just to 100% confirm before taking the request to the osgeo4w packagers.

thanks, Hamish

Replying to alf:

the osgeo4w was shipped with GDAL 1.8.1, and the WFS is reported in the supported formats list:

ogrinfo --formats Supported Formats:

...

-> "WFS" (readonly)

can you run "ogrinfo" on the WFS server using that driver?

the way the v.in.wfs script works is to download the xml file at the URL (GetFeature URL starting with 'http'), and then run

v.in.ogr -o dsn=features.xml out=output_map_name

can you do that manually? does the xml file you download look ok inside?

Milestone: 6.4.3

Does the problem persist with the currently shipped GDAL 1.9 version?

All of provided examples are invalid as those WFS services are not operational any more. Tested v.in.wfs with a MapServer WFS service and it works without problems. Closing as has been fixed at some point. Reopen only if a new working example of crash is provided.
