[Geoprisma-dev] wms and xml config

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

Service: URL to your mapfile
DataStore: Name of your layer
Resource: If you have 2 services pointing to the same data, WMS and 
TileCache for example, you group the layers here. So a resource is the 
group of all Datastore pointing to the same layer.



<wms>
       <name>Unique ID</name>
       <srs>*</srs>
       <format>*</format>
       <source>http://your_url.com?map=/your/mapfile.map</source>
</wms>
<datastore>
       <name>Unique ID</name>
       <params>
         <layers>layer_name_in_your_mapfile</layers>
       </params>
</datastore>
<resource>
       <name>Unique ID</name>
       <datastores>
         <datastore>Unique ID of the datastore</datastore>
       </datastores>
</resource>


The last thing to know is that you always put the security on your Resource.

Also, like Yves suggested, look at the documentation and the samples, it 
should help a lot.


HTH.
