Openlayers and geoserver - No such property:bbox

I'm new to Openlayers and I'm trying to edit and save a polygon from a postgres database with geoserver; I'm based in this example: openlayers3 wfs-t save drawing

My table definition is like this:

CREATE TABLE myschema.mytable
(
  id_mytable serial NOT NULL,
  element character varying(20) NOT NULL,
  description character varying(50),
  observation character varying(50),
  date_created timestamp without time zone,
  status boolean NOT NULL,
  geometry geometry(Polygon,4326),
  CONSTRAINT id_circuito_pk PRIMARY KEY (id_mytable),
  CONSTRAINT cod_cir_uniq UNIQUE (element),
)

The problem is, when the edit button is triggered I get this error:

<ows:ExceptionReport xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows http://myserver:8080/geoserver/schemas/ows/1.0.0/owsExceptionReport.xsd">
<ows:Exception exceptionCode="OperationProcessingFailed">
<ows:ExceptionText>No such property: bbox</ows:ExceptionText>
</ows:Exception>
</ows:ExceptionReport>

This is part of my code when I try to get the edited element and send it to a edit transaction to geoserver

var select = new ol.interaction.Select({
    style: new ol.style.Style({
        stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({
            color: '#FF2828'
        })
    })
});
....
select.getFeatures().on('remove', function(e) {
        var f = e.element;
        console.log(f);
        if (dirty[f.getId()]){
            delete dirty[f.getId()];
            var featureProperties = f.getProperties();
            delete featureProperties.boundedBy;
            var clone = new ol.Feature(featureProperties);
            clone.setId(f.getId());
            transactWFS('update',clone);
            }
        });

The console.log(f); line returns this in console:

{…}
S: {…}
bbox: Array(4) [ -57.5871151158136, -25.30012166784802, -57.57902551943073, … ]
element: "CIRVILLA001"

​​state: true
date_creation: "2020-03-12T14:53:35.213Z"
geometry: Object { i: 8, Vo: 1888, v: 8, … }
id_mytable: 1853
observation: null
<prototype>: Object { … }
Ua: Object {  }
Vo: 1889
a: "mytable.1853"
c: "geometry"
f: Object { lh: {…}, nh: false, type: "change", … }
fb: Object { "change:geometry": (1) […], change: (3) […], propertychange: (1) […] }
g: null

oa: Object { "change:geometry": (1) […], change: (3) […], propertychange: (1) […] }
ra: Object {  }
<prototype>: Object { constructor: H(a), clone: clone(), V: V(), … }

This specific part is the 'S' variable; I'm not sure why I get the 'bbox' variable along with the other table elements; I think this is the reason I get the error message but I'm not sure why

bbox: Array(4) [ -57.5871151158136, -25.30012166784802, -57.57902551943073, … ]
element: "CIRVILLA001"

​​state: true
date_creation: "2020-03-12T14:53:35.213Z"
geometry: Object { i: 8, Vo: 1888, v: 8, … }
id_mytable: 1853
observation: null

This is the final petition to geoserver; the bbox variable is included

Is there something I'm missing? I add the WFS vector definition, just in case:

sourceVector = new ol.source.Vector({
    format: new ol.format.GeoJSON(),
        url: function(extent) {
          return 'http://myserver:8080/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&' +
              'version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typename=MYWORKSPACE:mytable&' +
              'outputFormat=application/json&srsname=EPSG:4326&';
        },
    });
Solution

  • I figured this out, still not sure why, but I made these changes and the update transaction works:

    1) Right before sending the feature to writeTransaction, I perform an unset to delete de bbox property (this just for editing an existing polygon)

        f.unset('bbox', true);
    node = formatWFS.writeTransaction(null,[f],null,formatGML);

    2) This is part of my xml generated petition:

    <Transaction xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" service="WFS" version="1.1.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><Update typeName="feature:mytable"

    The typeName is configured with feature:mytable, it should have my geoserver workspace; I had to perform a replace:

    var data_=str.replace("typeName=\"feature:","typeName=\"myworkspace:");

    And the POST request works fine, I got the replace idea from here
