Transaction Operation |
The Transaction operation is optional.
The Transaction operation is used to describe data transformation operations that are to be applied to web accessible feature instances. A web feature service may process a Transaction operation directly or possibly translate it into the language of a target datastore to which it is connected and then have the datastore execute the transaction. When the transaction has been completed, a web feature service will generate an XML response document indicating the completion status of the transaction.
The Transaction operation is optional and a WFS implementation does not need to support it to conform to this specification. If the Transaction operation is supported then this fact must be advertised on the capabilities document.
