Thank you for the responses Martin and Stefan. I need to clear up one thing:
Martin wrote: " I think actually that OJ will copy any source Feature attributes which match the destination schema in name and type (which of course includes the Geometry attribute)." If this is true, why is a second replicate function needed, as Stefan mentioned? Wouldn't the one function do it all? I'll do some more testing to confirm the feature copying and pasting behavior and I will report back to the list with what I find.
