For some reason I'm having trouble finding any documentation about releasing feature locks in a GeoServer WFS (or any WFS for that matter).
I can easily request a FeatureLock with a request like this http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&typeName=namespace:layer_name&maxFeatures=1&outputFormat=json&request=GetFeatureWithLock&cql_filter=Id%3D0
I have read that an update will release the feature lock once completed, but what if my user cancels? Should I just update the feature with its original data, or wait for the lock to time-out? Looking through the WFS GetCapabilities response I thought I could make a LockFeature request and pass a ReleaseAction parameter, but this didn't work out. The URL was http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&typeName=namespace:layer_name&maxFeatures=1&outputFormat=json&request=LockFeature&releaseAction=ALL&cql_filter=Id%3D0 but the result was 'A LockFeature request must contain at least one LOCK element'.
The GetFeatureWithLock response didn't include any new lock identifier, and there are no cookies in the response headers, so I don't really understand how I'm supposed to release the lock I just created.
Any thoughts on this would be very much appreciated!
