[mapserver-dev] Using updateFromString on existing items

[Tamas Szekeres]

Hi Devs,

Is that a supported use case to apply updateFromString on an existing item
or it should only be used only on a newly created item?

For example when I use layerObj.updateFromString on an existing layer I get
the following error

loadProjection(): General error message. Projection is already initialized.
Multiple projection definitions are not allowed in this object. (line 10)

This is because we don't have a proper cleanup code on the existing layer
before calling loadLayer on it. The same applies to the other object types.

Thanks,

Tamas
