[Mapserver-users] OGR & GML

[Van Ulden, Joost]

Thanks Daniel it works.  I had tried it earlier but had the wrong value for
the layer DATA.  Ogrinfo set me straight.  

Here is the layer code if anyone else is interested:

LAYER
  NAME 'Earthquake'
  TYPE POINT
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR  
  CONNECTION 'D:\wwwroot\MS_DEMO\mapserver\data\quakes.gml'

  DATA 'Earthquake'
  STATUS ON

  CLASS
    NAME 'Earthquake'
    SYMBOL 'circle'
    SIZE 4
    COLOR 0 0 255
  END
 
END
