Modify WFS with OpenLayers

Question

I want to edit object on WFS layer but have one problem. I use OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature(myVecLayer) to editing.By the logic i do this.

1. Press button and create WFS layer with chosen object
2. Add OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature to map controls and activate this
3. Edit object
4. Press button again and remove WFS layer with my object, deactivate OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature control.

5. Select next object (or same object) and do "1", "2"

   And object not editing.
   But if I do not remove layer after editing, but just add new WFS layer to map OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature control works

My code:

function ff(){
if(counter==0){
 //WFS
 var myStyle = OpenLayers.Util.extend({},
 OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.style['default']);
 myStyle.strokeWidth = 1.5;
 myStyle.strokeColor = "#ff0000";
 myStyle.fillOpacity = 0.1;
 OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "proxy.cgi?url=";
 var renderer = OpenLayers.Util.getParameters(window.location.href).renderer;
 renderer = (renderer) ? [renderer] : OpenLayers.Layer.Vector.prototype.renderers; 
 myVecLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Редактируемый участок", {
 strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX(), new OpenLayers.Strategy.Save()],
 style: myStyle,
 protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
 version: "1.0.0",
 srsName:"EPSG:900913",
 url: "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs",
 featureType: "filedata",
 featureNS: "http://www.opengeospatial.net/cite",
 defaultFilter : new OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison({
 type: OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison.EQUAL_TO,
 property: 'id',
 value: "162",
 })
 }),
 renderers: renderer
 }) 
 map.addLayers([myVecLayer]);
 if(ppp==null){
 if (edit==null){
 edit = new OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature(myVecLayer);
 map.addControl(edit);
 ppp=map.getControlsByClass("OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature");
 }
 alert(ppp);
 }
 // ppp.autoActivate=true;
 for(var i=0;i<ppp.length;i++){
 ppp[i].activate();
 alert("2 "+ppp[i].active);
 }
 counter=1;
 }

Its will nice if u help.

• Kliver Max: Or can someone tell me how to make new filter to WFS layer?

Answer 1

OK. I find answer to my question. Just need to use filters.

//WFS
 var myStyle = OpenLayers.Util.extend({},
 OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.style['default']);
 myStyle.strokeWidth = 1.5;
 myStyle.strokeColor = "#ff0000";
 myStyle.fillOpacity = 0.1;
 OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "proxy.cgi?url=";
 var renderer = OpenLayers.Util.getParameters(window.location.href).renderer;
 renderer = (renderer) ? [renderer] : OpenLayers.Layer.Vector.prototype.renderers; 
 myVecLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Редактируемый участок", {
 strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX(), SS],
 style: myStyle,
 protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
 version: "1.0.0",
 srsName:"EPSG:900913",
 url: "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs",
 featureType: "filedata",
 featureNS: "http://www.opengeospatial.net/cite",
 defaultFilter : filter
 }),
 renderers: renderer
 }) 

Filters+Editing

if(counter==0){
 if(ppp==null){
 if (edit==null){
 edit = new OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature(myVecLayer);
 map.addControl(edit);
 ppp=map.getControlsByClass("OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature");
 }
 }
 map.addLayers([myVecLayer]);
 Ffilter = new OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison({
 type: OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison.EQUAL_TO,
 property: 'id',
 value: '170',
 })
 myVecLayer.filter=Ffilter;
 myVecLayer.refresh({force: true});
 for(var i=0;i<ppp.length;i++){
 ppp[i].activate();
 }
 counter=1;
 }
 else {
 //FS.deactivate();
 // SS.save();
 //myVecLayer.destroyFeatures(); 
 map.removeLayer(myVecLayer); 
 for(var i=0;i<ppp.length;i++){
 ppp[i].deactivate();
 }
 //ppp.deactivate();
 counter=0;
 }
