            Hi devs,<br>
            <br>
            In our application we use MapScript to configure a WMS
            service to service satellite imagery. One feature is to
            display the outlines of the images using a vector layer. We
            are currently doing this using an SQL connection to the
            database.<br>
            <br>
            We found this prone to errors as the query also involved a
            time span which is not time zone aware. Also, we use Djangos
            ORM to set up our database layout, so we have to apply
            changes to the custom query SQL every time the data models
            receive changes.<br>
            <br>
            So I'm looking for alternatives and I found the FEATURE
            object would suit our needs, as we already have retrieved
            the geometry from the database, which we could serialize as
            WKT. Unfortunately, I could not find any `featureObj` or the
            like in MapScript and the `layerObj` does not have a
            `feature` property.<br>
            <br>
            Do I miss something here? Is there another possibility to
            easily pass geometry too a `layerObj` without relying on
            files on the disk or a database connection?<br>
            <br>
            Thanks,<br>
            Fabian<br>
