[Geomoose-users] GeoMoose without MapServer

[Jim Klassen]

Assuming your data isn't too large, the GeoJSON route seems reasonable.  I don't think it is possible out of the box right now, but given that 2.6 now supports WFS, GeoJSON support wouldn't be hard to add.

The bigger limitation you may hit without MapServer is you will also be without the PHP based services (which currently rely on MapScript) that provide some of the functionality such as printing.  So it kind of depends on what features you need to work if GeoMoose is going to be feasible for you.

I'm assuming you are hitting a different WMS or Tile set to provide the base map.
