I am trying to add the resulting WFS features (xml format) to my selected items vector layer but can't get it to work.
I am querying my WFS layer with the following:
showFeatureLink.on('click', function() {
OpenLayers.Request.GET({
url: 'http://1.2.3.4:8080/geoserver/wfs',
params: {
service: 'WFS',
version: '1.1.0',
request: 'GetFeature',
typeName: 'Mylines:WebLayer1'
},
proxy: "../gis/geoserver.seam?url=",
success: function(request) {
var features = new OpenLayers.Format.WFS().read(response.responseText);
selected_items.addFeatures(features);
map.zoomToExtent(selected_items.getDataExtent());
},
});
The XML returned contains all the relevant information so there's no problem there.
<wfs:FeatureCollection numberOfFeatures="1000"...... />
I seem to be falling at the last hurdle, I've googled for some time but can't get to the bottom of it, your help would be appreciated!
Thanks

The answer is to use a GML object and convert this to a list of features using the following code in the success block:
Thanks for looking...
