[OpenLayers-Users] mouse event return clicked layer

[gustavo palminha]

Hello andreas.
I bottom line is that i would like to create a sort of GetFeatureInfo for my
WMS layers.
I do not use mapserver or geoserver, instead i use manifold gis which doen
not provide a valid WSDL for a working GetFeatureInfo.
So my main goal would be to know how to discover a way to capture the name
of the clicked wms layer.
Assuming that this is not possible i was thinking about doing this:
OL Side (client side)
•Build a list of shown/active layers (by reading the layers on the layser
selection menu)
•Pass this list to a webservice with the x,y
Server Side (webservice)
•Filter them excluding the ones from the list where they did not
touch/intersect the x/y
•Read back the items retrieved and the user should have pressed the last
layer in the list.
Regards.
G.P.
