[mapserver-users] [TinyOWS] Broken config using a MAPFILE?

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

At least you will have some troubles with your extents which do not match with your output projection
    EXTENT -180 -90 180 90
    UNITS DD
This may or may not be the reason for the failure but correct it anyway to use meters and the extents of your data.
I can also see that your Box is not a box but it is a line because the easting coordinates are the same
417651.92249206,6609322.2049643
417651.92249206,6811115.9596091

Hi folks,

I hope one of you can help me. A few months ago I was working on a project using tinyows to display UK postcode areas on an OpenLayers map. That was working fine, but it was a prototype and hasn't been touched for quite a while.

I've since set-up a new server and installed the trunk version of tinyows on it and found that instead of working fine tinyows returns the following error:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<ows:ExceptionReport

<ows:Exception exceptionCode='InvalidParameterValue' locator='FILTER'>
  <ows:ExceptionText>Filter parameter doesn't validate WFS Schema</ows:ExceptionText>
</ows:Exception>
</ows:ExceptionReport>

The request being sent by OpenLayers is this:

I'm using a MAPFILE to configure tinyows because I was originally using mapserver instead (but I envisage the need for writing to the DB as well as reading). The mapfile is this:

MAP

            "tinyows_writable" "1"
            "wfs_srs" "EPSG:3857"
        END
        TYPE POLYGON
        STATUS DEFAULT
        CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
        CONNECTION "host=localhost dbname=osm user=osm password=osm"
        DATA "wkb_geometry FROM postcode_sector_boundaries"
        DUMP TRUE
    END
END

Can anyone point me in the right direction here please?

Cheers,
Richard
