UDig & Mapserver WFS

[Ryan Ollerenshaw]

I have also been having a problem with uDIG and WFS which is the GML returned
from my WFS seems to be good (all the data is present), but uDIG does not
output any data about my features when using the Information tool.

here is part of the XML returned using the HTTP request:
