[Mapserver-users] mapserver and extern interfacing

[Emil Zegers]

Hello Sébastien ,

You can do this by using MapServer as a WMS or WFS client.

Take a look at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc.html for info on the following items:

OGC WMS Client 
OGC WMS Server 
OGC WFS Client 
OGC WFS Server 

Also take a look at the Wiki on http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl for more info on WMSMapServer and WFSMapServer.

It is not exactly like sending a .shp to MapServer but might suit you needs.

Best regards,

Emil Zegers

hi all,
if you take  allok to the proprietary software like arcims soft, you'll see that
most of these soft works like servlets and allow interfacing with other
servlets which give them .xml or other.
my query is to know if mapserver can work like this.
Let's explain this more .
yet it's possible to use a database like postgresql to load layer.
but is it possible to send .shp to mapserv for a layer from an extern source
(without work with the database as a intermediary)
in other words is there an api of mapserv which allow to custumize this soft?

thanks in advance
