[Mapserver-users] need new function in mapserv.c to export selection in XML?

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Hi,

If I understand what you're sayingm, you can accomplish this with MapServer CGI via OGC:WMS or OGC:WFS.  They both export XML (OGC:WFS provides better control for filtering, though).

But by this way i will have to reimplement the selection ... (done with rosa.)

To conclude i think i have to build my function in the .c and add so an new fonctionnality to the cgi.

Do you think i'm right?
have someone done this yet?

thanks in advance for your reply.
