WMS, GetFeatureInfo, querymap, GML

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

with respect to only getting the coordinates, use the following in your  
METADATA section:

"gml_include_items" "all"

Querymap in WMS could be accomplished using an SLD WMS request to  
Mapserver, specifying a filter to determine which features will be  
highlighted.

Best regards,
Bart
