[Geomoose-users] Questions on using GeoServer with GeoMoose

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Bob,

Regardless if whether you NEED to use Mapserver or not, you should consider keeping it available for GeoMoose simply as a method to upgrade MapServer to over time.  I suspect that MapServer upgrades will be more more tolerable with GeoMoose vs GeoServer.  Also keeping more than one version alive may be good for testing.

Just my thoughts on the subject.  BTW, we maintain multiple versions of MapServer behind the scenes here at the City which has been very beneficial over time.

Subject: [Geomoose-users] Questions on using GeoServer with GeoMoose

I have been learning about OpenGeoSuite and GeoServer for eventual use in our WMS services and GeoMoose applications, but some questions have come up.

Most importantly- do we still need to run MapServer?  I know that the GM tools and functions are run on MapScript.  If we are serving the data through GeoServer do we still need MapServer to run the MapScript code?

I also noticed that I can't get my WMS layers to support query in GeoMoose.  These layers can be queried in QGIS, and I set queryable="true" in the mapbook.xml.   What else am I missing?
