you have been using? Ogrinfo report about the datasource, layer definitions from the mapfile and at least the extents from the map level are needed. A hand written WFS url is most useful but if you can capture with Firebug or something what Openlayers is
really sending if will do as well. Set also DEBUG 5 and CONFIG "CPL_DEBUG" "ON" into your layer setting in the mapfile and study what you get into the ms_errorfile. </span></div>

<div class="yiv9757617072MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="color:black;">Hi all</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv9757617072MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="color:black;">As a newbie, i've got confused. I've set up a WFS server with mapserver and then get some queries, Once by URL and another time by using OpenLayers. But the result GML contains just part
of data that it must. (I've set MaxFeatures to 100 but GML contains less than 100 while there is more than 100 features in compliance with my query)</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv9757617072MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="color:black;">Then i got to page 560 of mapserver documentation, which says some statistics about WFS OGC test suites. So now, my question is that "Is MapServer doing totally well in providing WFS? Is
it in full compliance with OGC WFS specification?" or we should not expectmuch from mapserver WFS server.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv9757617072MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="color:black;">If not so, i'm looking for some real implementation of mapserver WMS and WFS to see the speed and other things. Could u provide me some links?</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv9757617072MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div>

<div class="yiv9757617072MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Thanks in advance</span></div>
