Can a WFS be used for a group layer?
You cannot have WFS for Grouped Layers. Grouped Layers are an Geoserver specific service, which works as a Single WMS service containing multiple Layers. This is outside the scope of OGC standards, and it only returns images. Having a vector group layer for multiple layers does not make sense.
Where are the inserts called in WFS-T?
Inserts are called from the drawend event of the OL interaction. The .clear () function on the WFS source reloads the source after each transaction. This ensure that feature IDs are correct for new features and that deleted features are removed from the view.
How to insert a record into an OpenLayers table?
Otherwise inserts may create records with empty geometry fields. A constraint must be set on the ID or GeoServer will not be able to insert records into the table. At the core of the OL javascript snippets is the ol.format.WFS.writeTransaction function which takes 4 input parameter.
Which is the 4th parameter of WFS-T post?
The 4th parameter takes the form of ol.format.GML and passes on information about the feature type, namespace, and projection of the data. The writeTransaction node must be serialised with an XMLSerializer to be used in a WFS-T post.
Where can I find an example of WFS?
I have some WFS examples at http://ian01.geog.psu.edu/geoserver/www/wfs/index.html with commented source code that you can study. Your code is ok. You just need to change the browser address of your page.

What is the name of the Geoserver in OpenGeo?
GeoServer details: workspace name = medford, Namespace URI = http://medford.opengeo.org For the feature type I have tried “parks” and “medford:parks” The layer is enabled, advertised and has a 30 feature return limit.
