Hi, Pufff... the capabilities get horrible big... Now I undertand why WFS has an operation called DescribeFeatureType that reaturns an XML schema. Instead of including the view description in the capabilities we could have created a new operation called DescribeView that would return the schema. In WFS it is nice that when you do a search and you want a certain FeatureType you get the XML document with a schema location that is a DescribeFeatureType operation itself to the same provider. I actaully don't know the implications of this, but I certainly think is neat :) Javier.
