There are, as always, a variety of ways to do this. One would be:<div> - Create a way for users to upload a shapefile and save it somewhere</div><div> - Modify the featureserver.cfg to have a new layer that points to the new shapefile they uploaded</div>
<div> - Modify your openlayers JS to include a layer that points to the new featureserver layer</div><div><br></div><div>That said, without knowing more about your project or use-case (is it the same layer, but users just occasionally upload a modified shape? Are there hundreds of new layers a day being uploaded? Do users need to delete layers? ) it's a little hard to give any good advice...</div>

<br>
I am new to this list and for starters I was going to ask a quick<br>
question about using shp-files in FeatureServer/OpenLayers.<br>
<br>
Is it possible with these software to build a service where the end-user<br>
could upload a shp-file into FeatureServer and after that use it through<br>
OpenLayers? And I mean with that simple without any special knowledge on<br>
GIS or shape filer or so.<br>
