[SOLVED] Re: Re: [Mapbender-users] GetFeatureInfo on WMS

Thu Oct 1 03:27:26 EDT 2009

Hi Michael, hi list,

the problem is, that the url in the featureInfoTunnel request contains no LAYERS parameter, when the layer is invisible because of the maxScale setting. That is why the mapserver throws a ServiceException.

Now I have a workaround for my problem. I have changed the "javascript/mod_featureInfoTunnel.php" near line 82.

81 ...
82 mb_ajax_post(path, {'url':currentRequest},function(js_code,status){
83     var isServiceException = js_code.search(/<ServiceException/)
84     if(js_code && isServiceException == -1){
85         if(featureInfoLayerPopup == 'true'){
86             ...

Not the nicest code but it works. Now I can use the maxScale setting in conjunction with the featureInfoTunnel module without any error message.

Thanks for your support.

Greetings Robert

Hi Robert,

I wonder whether UMN Mapserver in this case throws an error at all
...? Hmm. Looking at your error message, it gets thrown in
msLoadWMSGetMapParams. I don't think this function already takes the
scale into account, it just collects the layers that are given in the
request and checks whether they exist. When drawing the map it just
omits them, I guess the same should happen for getFI. I am not totally
sure about this and happy to be told the opposite.

Could you check your getFeatureInfo Request whether there are any
other things happening to the layers or querylayers parameter? Are you
using grouped layers?

Cheers, Michael
