Hi,

 

My WFS layer does have a topology without holes.

Do you mean to say that all your features touch each other forming a coverage (ie seemless) area.

 

Axios split tool does not add vertex to adjacent edges of unsplitted features (where splitline does only intersect a feature in one point) and some kind of "destroys" the layer. (I noticed similar behaviour on AddVertexTool)

We added this functionality for a customer in the past; the idea was to redefine what the split tool did so it would add a new vertex when the line simply crossed the edge of a polygon (and did not completely bisect it.

This split tool is available in the community module for axios under a uDig 1.2 branch; the axios tools were located in the community svn folder earlier in their development allowing me to update them for uDig 1.2 and contribute the above fix.

There is also a coverage edit tool (I think in tutorials) that allows you to edit / modify a polygon while also updating any common edge with a neighboring polygon.

Cheers,

Jody
