[mapserver-users] Howto: WMS abstract for root layer?

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Tom,

thanks for your answer, I think your suggestion sounds good. I'm going
to create a enhancement ticket for this, so it won't get lost.
Discussion can be continued there: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3121

Cheers, Michael
