[Geomoose-users] Service Types XML

[Dan Little]

Well, there's a few different version of <param>

The one that's under the map tags sets the parameter for that particular layer.  It would look like this in a mapbook:

<map layer="Some Layer">
    <file>../mymapfile/or/something</file>
    <param name="QUERY" value="1"/>
</map>

In the services it's the same way, except that you simply add "moose:" in front of it to specify the different namespace.

I've felt this a bit hackish all around, but it's worked, so I don't really try to change it too much.  GM2 will have a more clear list of capabilities, many of these types of functions were developed "spur of the moment" and have had no retroactive documentation.

So then there is no place I can see a list
of moose:params ? Particularly how I can affect highlights / selections…
Is it possible to do this without specifying rectangular extents? I’d really
like to know all of the resources that are available… Thanks..

I apologize for not being too clear.. I
can see how that works but what I meant was for a list of parameters I can use
to manipulate. For instance, I am looking into multiple parcel select. I
started to explore the “moose:selected” tag, but it did not do what
I expected. I know think I will have to do various mapbooks and  vary the
extents but I was wondering if there were more functions than those displayed
in the select and buffer tools.

There is an intentional lack of documentation there, and
that's because it's a freakin' hack.

What happens when you return stuff from a service is this:
1) If it returns mapbook XML, then it processes it as if you've loaded another
mapbook, it can turn layers on, update them, etc.

2) If it returns HTML, it displays the HTML in the DIV, and then takes commands
from the <moose:mapbook>, it uses the different name space in order to
get the ease of HTML templating and get the power needed to do two way
communications between the Javascript client and the server-side services.

Ok, well if it seems there is no
up-to-date information regarding this then how about the moose: tags returned
from services?

Is there an up-to-date Mapbook Reference
guide? I would like to see all of the acceptable input types at the moment.

The "types" are actually deprecated.

They used to imply how the search results were called and processed.  The
only type that is honoured any more is "xml-post" which you can see
an example of operation in the Print service, which actually posts XML to
print.php for output.

Types XML
I am looking at the service definition located at
GeoMoose’s website. http://www.geomoose.org/moose/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=29
 
I am trying to investigate the different parameters;
particularly ‘type’. I am looking at the Select Feature Service and
notice the type is “inspect-search”. What is this? Are there more
types than the 3 displayed on the site? Any help is appreciated..
