WFS schemas

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

the following bugzilla reports might be of information to you:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=950
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=884

In short, you cannot use your own schema with Mapserver for WFS at the
moment. You can change the namespace, by using wfs_namespace_prefix, see:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/wfs-server-howto.html

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Bart
