Hi list,

is it possible to have a Mapserver Web Feature Server operate on a 
shapefile which is in the ETRS89 coordinate system, and then have it 
generate GML with the X,Y,Z values?

I see there is currently no entry for ETRS89 in the EPSG file delivered 
with Mapserver (ETRS89 has afaik EPSG code 4346).

Is it just a matter of adding the parameters and then it will work?

<gml:Polygon srsName="EPSG:4346">
<gml:outerBoundaryIs>
<gml:LinearRing>
<gml:coordinates>
5.3314361111,51.7489638889,0.0 5.346075,51.7489694444,0.0 
5.3460722222,51.7537694444,0.0 5.3314305556,51.7537638889,0.0 
5.3314361111,51.7489638889,0.0
</gml:coordinates>
</gml:LinearRing>
</gml:outerBoundaryIs>
</gml:Polygon>

Best regards,
Bart
