openlayers 2 - adding non spatial attributes using geoserver

I am using Openlayers + geoext to perform transaction operations in postgis database using geoserver . i can insert spatial data into postgis but cannot insert other data like road name, road type in my road database.

the openlayers generates this code during transaction

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">

in geoserver demo i add fid and id so that it looks as

 **650
      400**
  
 

and i get what i want. my question is how can i post the 2nd request (with id and fid) instead of first using openlayers and/or geoext?

Answer

i don't know the answer to this question, but if someone is stuck in same situation. i suggest that you extract the geometry of feature and assign it to an html element. then access the value of same element and use php to insert it to database along with other attributes. it works for simple geometries but is a tedious task, still it is a solution.

My code is like this

var draw = new OpenLayers.Control.DrawFeature(
        vector,     //layer
        OpenLayers.Handler.Path, //Handler
        {   multi:true,
            type: OpenLayers.Control.TYPE_TOGGLE,

            //handlerOptions : {maxVertices: 5}
        }//options
    );
    draw.events.register("featureadded",'' , FeatureAdded);
    function FeatureAdded(object){ 
        //alert('feature added');
        var oFeature = object.feature; 
        oFeature.state = OpenLayers.State.INSERT;  
      **document.getElementById('geometry').value = oFeature.geometry;
        //alert(oFeature.geometry); 

    } 

    map.addControl(draw);

the sql statement is like this in postgis

INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (ST_GeographyFromText('value of the element(geometry)',SRID))
