WFS Problems / fundamental ? about WFS client capabilities

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

yes Mapserver is able to visualize GML data directly.

The tool I mentioned, ogrinfo, is what I use to check the "validity" of
the GML. If ogrinfo can read it, Mapserver can, as it is based on a
similar codebase AFAIK.

Best regards,
Bart
