[Mapserver-users] WFS layers

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

I don't know if this could be the cause of your problem, but do you have a 
TEMPLATE set in your CLASS? BTW do you have any errors in the web server 
error log?

Here is a WFS LAYER that works for me:

   CONNECTIONTYPE WFS
   CONNECTION 
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv_41.exe?map=c:/ms4w/apps/geodan_sample/map/sample_wms_wfs_server.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&TYPENAME=popplace"
   LabelItem "Name"
   CLASS
     TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
     NAME "Large Cities"
     LABEL
       COLOR  118 129 27
       FONT fritqat-italic
       TYPE truetype
       SIZE 8
       POSITION AUTO			
       #PARTIALS FALSE
       OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255	
       FORCE TRUE
     END
     COLOR 0 0 0
   END
   CLASS
     TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
     SYMBOL 3
     SIZE 4
     NAME "Cities"
     COLOR 0 0 0
   END
   TOLERANCE 5
END

Best regards,
Bart
