[Geomoose-users] Updated Post: Using Mapserver Filter

[Rafe Hargrove]

I would like to pass a parameter to mapserver's filter command so that I can filter out records for a person selected from a third party, Java/JSP application.  I see where I can pass a parameter in GeoMoose's map source definition.  Can I dynamically set this parameter based on a person selected from a separate Java/JSP application?  This application is used to identify the owner for which we would like to see a map of owned properties.  I would like to click on a URL which opens GeoMoose, SOMEHOW dynamically sets a selected ownerkey, and passes this value as a parameter to MapServer.  MapServer would use this parameter to dynamically set the Filter value.  

 
Any ideas how best to do this in GeoMoose?
 
Thanks for any and all help,
Rafe
