[OpenLayers-Users] List features in WMS

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hi,

That's not the intention of WMS.

WMS does not allow to request all features from a server. If the serverside
wants to deliver all the data, then they have to setup a wfs.

Or if it's your own server and you use MapServer, then it could be possible
with a MapServer CGI-request.

Regards,
Arnd

Betreff: [OpenLayers-Users] List features in WMS


Hello friends!

How can one list all the features (for example, road-lines with the
attributes) in a wms layer?

It is easy (more or less) to perform it in wfs; but, how can we do that in
wms? (GetFeatureInfo returns information about features located on the
clicked point but it doesn't answer to my wishes. I need ALL the features in
a layer)

Regards!
