Hi,<div><br></div><div>Here the results of some tests I've made yesterday to really understand the process of a GetFeatureInfo call with MapServer. Please let me know if I'am mistaking:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">1) GetFeatureInfo with INFO_FORMAT=text/plain</span></div>
<div>Result: the tag TEMPLATE must be specify (with a dummy file). Then you can control the returned values with the METADATA tag ows_<include|exclude>_items or wms_<include|exclude>_items </div><div><br></div>
<div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">2) GetFeatureInfo with INFO_FORMAT=gml</span></div><div>Result: the tag DUMP must be set to TRUE and the TEMPLATE must be specify (with a dummy file). Then you can control the returned value with the METADATA tag gml_<include|exclude>_items </div>
<div><br></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">3) GetFeatureInfo with INFO_FORMAT=text/html</span></div><div>Result: the only required tag is TEMPLATE (a dummy file will return no data). But if you supply a valid html template, ALL the field will be returned because the METADATA tag ows_<include|exclude>_items or wms_<include|exclude>_items are ignored. So if my layer is a Oracle spatial table, I must then create a view to expose only the field I want. Would it be relevant to control the field with the "wms_include_items" tag ? Is there a reason why is not working that way?</div>
