[Mapserver-users] Problem with WFS

Hi,

I don't think ESRI will address this soon.

The latest GIS Monitor sheds some light on this issue:

http://www.gismonitor.com/news/newsletter/archive/021904.php#ArcGIS

excerpt from the GIS Monitor:

"There is a curious statement on page 1 of the User Guide which I 
suspected was a typo, but which ESRI states is not: "The OGC 
Interoperability Add-on enables you to add feature services from ESRI Web 
Feature Services…" An ESRI representative reports, "ESRI WFS is based on 
the profile for GML that ESRI is currently using. The Add-on will also 
support any WFS that uses the
same profile of GML as ESRI's WFS."

Best regards,
Bart
