REMOTE_OWS_TYPE

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

So you're looking to use data from a remote OGC:WFS as part of your
OGC:WMS?

If this is the case, you can setup a LAYER block in your OGC:WMS mapfile
to point to an OGC:WFS resource, and use CLASS blocks

See: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_client for details.

There's also an example of this in the MapServer OGC Web Services
Workshop (http://devgeo.cciw.ca/ms_ogc_workshop/index.html).

As far as how this works under the hood, mapserver developers: when
someone does a GetMap w/ SLD w/ Filter, if the layer in question is an
OGC:WFS layer, will that filter be passed?  I think it would be, but
haven't tested this extensively.

Cheers

..Tom

I'd like to manage dinamically spatial and no-spatial filters from the
client in cascading configuration WMS+ WFS !


So the client (browser) requests map to WMS and WMS takes data from WFS.


In this cascading there are two problms :


1) The filters are applicable only server side ! Client doesn't put
wfs-filter in the WMS request!


2)If the client writes filter in SLD mode in the WMS request WMS
downloads all of the GML file and than works with the filter !!!!


So I'd like to try with OWS parameters to see how it works.


Thank you !
