[mapguide-users] How to deal with data served by ArcIMS with WMS

[Jason Birch]

WMS has a rather ambiguous interface called "GetFeatureInfo".  I don't believe that this is supported within MapGuide though, so anything you did with this would have to be custom code.
 
As Andy suggests, WFS would give you better access to the features, but I haven't done this myself either.

Hello,
 
I am completely new to WMS and hope someone can give me some more information about following concern. 
In our case the WMS will be served by an ArcIMS. Will it be possible to use the data in the same way as it can be done with other resources (shp, sdf, ...). Is it for example possible to select a feature and get the properties of this feature ? Can the Webextensions API used as it was sdf/shp resource in the repository ? 
If not what are the limitations ?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Kind regards,
Ismaël
