Connecting to a cascaded WFS
Much like a cascade WMS service, a cascaded WFS requires some configuration to occur before it can be used. In this example, we will proxy a WFS service provided by the OSM-GB project (http://www.osmgb.org.uk) that delivers the Ordnance Survey VectorMap District data.

As with a cascaded WMS service, a cascaded WFS service must first be configured as a data store before its layers can be published. Again, we must create a connection to the external WFS server's Capabilities document in order for our GeoServer instance to discover what data can be published as layers.
To create a connection to the external WFS server's Capabilities document, select the Stores link from the Data section of the left ...
