[Mapserver-users] wfs and mapserver4.0.1

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Debbie,

  I can't seem to reproduce this with my test files using 4.0.1. Is it 
possible to send me your map file to see if I can reproduce it? If it 
happens with all shapefiles, I am assuming data is not the problem and 
might be some setting in the map file.

Later,
