This is the English introduction to the QGIS WFS 2.0 plugin which is currently in development (zum Artikel in deutscher Sprache).
Features:
- Supports Web Feature Service 2.0 (ISO 19142)
- Supports Minimal Spatial Filter (BoundingBox-Filter)
- Supports Stored Queries (INSPIRE pre-defined WFS)
- English User-Interface
- Tested with GeoServer beta 2.2, degree 3.x, GO Publisher WFS
The GML-Data (Version 3.2) which is received by the WFS will be stored as temporary file and loaded as QGIS-Layer.
Installation:
The python plugin is available in the following repository which has to be manually added: http://www.weichand.de/qgis/plugins.xml
Since QGIS 1.8.0 the plugin is available in the default repository.
Notes:
- The plugin is a prototype – still in development
- The plugin is Open Source (GPL)
- Requires QGIS 1.7.4 or higher
- The plugin uses the proxy settings in the QGIS configuration
- The plugin is available in the official QGIS repository
http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/wfsclient/
The development of the plugin is part of my master’s thesis (beMasterGIS).
Feel free to comment!
Thank you for your effort Jürgen. However I am not able to launch your plugin. It throws the following Python error:
Traceback (most recent call last):File "C:/Users/Roman/.qgis/python/plugins\wfsclient\wfsclient.py", line 67, in run
dlg = WfsClientDialog(self)
File "C:/Users/Roman/.qgis/python/plugins\wfsclient\wfsclientdialog.py", line 56, in __init__
self.ui.lblMessage.setText("CRS is set to EPSG: {0}".format(str(self.parent.iface.mapCanvas().mapRenderer().destinationSrs().epsg())))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'format'
I am using QGIS 1.7.2 on Windows 7 64bit
Using QGIS 1.7.4 solves the problem.
Some information about the CRS-handling:

Is there any chance you could allow the previous versions of WFS to be read with the plug in as well. The reason I ask is that you have the option to bound the WFS to the current window where the inbuilt wfs client does not.
Sorry – there is no plan to add WFS 1.0.0, WFS 1.1.0 support. Please report your concern to http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis (Bugtracker) or http://lists.osgeo.org/listinfo/qgis-developer (Mailing List)
