[OpenLayers-Users] Re: attribute data of a shape file(WMS)

Hi,

Do you want to display the attribute data on the map itself?

If so, there is a feature in GeoServer where you can set the style of the
layer through Styles.

To add a text in a line, here is a sample for a road:
<TextSymbolizer>
            <Label>
              <ogc:PropertyName>ROAD_NAME(name of the column from the shape
file you want to show)</ogc:PropertyName>
            </Label>
            <LabelPlacement>
              <LinePlacement/>
            </LabelPlacement>
            <Fill>
              <CssParameter name="fill">#000000</CssParameter>
            </Fill>
            
            <VendorOption name="followLine">true</VendorOption>
            <VendorOption name="maxAngleDelta">90</VendorOption>
            <VendorOption name="maxDisplacement">400</VendorOption>
            <VendorOption name="repeat">150</VendorOption>
          </TextSymbolizer>

You can add more than one type of attribute to be displayed.

Sorry if it's a little  bit off-topic and the solution is not exactly using
Open Layers.
