[Mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo problem with getting GML back

[bartvde at xs4all.nl]

Hi list,

Daniel's solution did the trick for the default info_format. I just added
a tempate tag to a non-existent blank.html file ( TEMPLATE "blank.html" )

GetFeatureInfo results:

Layer 'Prov'
  Feature 8:
    PROVCODE = '28'
    PROVNR = '28'
    PROVNAAM = 'Zuid-Holland'
    INWONERS = '3360591'
    GROEI = '1680'
    NLPR_R98_I = '9'
    VALUE = '58.000'

But when I do the same request with info_format=application/vnd.ogc.gml I
get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<msGMLOutput
	 xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
	 xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
	 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
</msGMLOutput>

So here my info is missing.

Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem?

BTW: with what kind of info_format does Chameleon use to request
GetFeatureInfo?

Best regards,
Bart

Hi list,

I have a problem getting results back from a GetFeatureInfo request to a
Mapserver CGI. My layer is a polygon shapefile.

I always get:

GetFeatureInfo results:

Search returned no results.

This is my GetFeatureInfo request:

http://reserve1/cgi-bin/mapserv_40.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/geoservices02/map/
geostreets.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.0&LAYERS=prov&QUERY_LAYERS=prov&FORMAT=image/
png&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&bbox=50000,350000,250000,550000&srs=EPSG:28992&width=800&height=800&request=GetFeatureInfo&x=300&y=500

If I perform a map request:
http://reserve1/cgi-bin/mapserv_40.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/geoservices02/map/
geostreets.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.0&LAYERS=prov&QUERY_LAYERS=prov&FORMAT=image/
png&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&bbox=50000,350000,250000,550000&srs=EPSG:28992&width=800&height=800&request=GetMap

I get the attached map.

Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bart

Did you set the 'prov' layer to be queryable in the mapfile?  To be
queryable a layer needs to have the
TEMPLATE layer (or class) parameter set.  You can also tell if the layer
is queryable by looking at the
capabilities.  There will be a queryable=0|1 parameter in the <Layer...> tag.
