I looked at this example to load a layer into my map. I get a response from my geoserver in geoJSON format. But still, the layer is not showing on my map. I also zoomed out to check for reprojection issues. No error is thrown in console.

When I parse my response in http://geojsonlint.com/ the response is:

Line 1: old-style crs member is not recommended
Line 1: Polygons and MultiPolygons should follow the right-hand rule 

But http://geojson.io shows the geoJSON fine.

My Code:

var vectorSource = new ol.source.Vector({
    format: new ol.format.GeoJSON(),
    url: function(extent) {
      return 'http://192.168.66.110:8080/geoserver/gis/ows?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=gis:tbl_krs&outputFormat=application/json&srsname=EPSG:4326&'+
          'bbox=' + extent.join(',') + ',EPSG:3857';
    },
    strategy: ol.loadingstrategy.bbox
  });

var wfsLayer =  new ol.layer.Image({
        source: new ol.source.ImageVector({
          source: vectorSource
        })
})

map.addLayer(wfsLayer)
wfsLayer.setVisible(true);

Also my map and view settings:

var view = new ol.View({
    center: ol.proj.fromLonLat([10, 51]),
    zoom: 6
});

var map = new ol.Map({
target: 'map',
view: view,
controls: ol.control.defaults().extend([
    new ol.control.Zoom(),
    //new ol.control.FullScreen(),
    //new ol.control.ZoomSlider(),
    new ol.control.LayerSwitcher({  
        tipLabel: 'Layer Switcher'
    }),
    //new ol.control.OverviewMap(),
    new ol.control.ScaleLine()
]),
layers: [baselayers, toplayers]
});

Response snippet with &srsname=EPSG:3857:

EDIT:

I can see the layer by using this code, but that's not what I need:

var wfsVectorLayer = new ol.layer.Vector({
        source: vectorSource

});

map.addLayer(wfsVectorLayer)
wfsVectorLayer.setVisible(true);

EDIT 2:

wfsLayer.getSource().getSource().getFeatures()

is returning my features too.

Should I create a ticket at OpenLayers' github at this point?

  • is the response in 4326 or 3857? is you map in the same? or do you need to transform it

  • I've tried both 4326 and 3857. I guess because there's only a response when the returnstring at the end consists of EPSG:3857, the map seems to be at 3857 too.

  • The srs at the end must be 3857 because that is what the bbox is in. I am asking about the response, can you add a bit of it to the question.

  • Done, there you go! Like I edited, the problem seems to persist with ol.layer.image wrapper, because a raw vector layer is shown on the map.

    Looks like something in your application is keeping the map from showing the layer. I have modified the official vector-wfs example to use an ol.layer.Image with an ol.source.ImageVector, and it works fine there: codepen.io/ahocevar/pen/jLWBLV?&editors=1010.

Finally found the solution: I had to specify a style. I thought that OpenLayers would choose a standard style if none was specified or at least would throw a warning sign at me.

var vector = new ol.layer.Image({
  source: new ol.source.ImageVector({
    source: vectorSource,
    style: featureStyleFunction
  })
});
