Querying and labeling a WFS layer in Mapserver WFS client

[Bart van den Eijnden]

For ogrinfo you have to do something like:

ogrinfo thefile.gml myns:xxxlayer -summary

It seems to me the property names include the namespace, so you should use the full names in LABELITEM etc. Did you try that?

Best regards,
Bart

Bart, thank you for a good starting point:

the  .gfs file is plain (perhaps too much :-):

<GMLFeatureClassList>
  <GMLFeatureClass>
    <Name>myns:xxxlayer</Name>
    <ElementPath>myns:xxxlayer</ElementPath>
    <DatasetSpecificInfo>
      <FeatureCount>100</FeatureCount>
      <ExtentXMin>386550.00000</ExtentXMin>
      <ExtentXMax>615920.00000</ExtentXMax>
      <ExtentYMin>35030.00000</ExtentYMin>
      <ExtentYMax>186900.00000</ExtentYMax>
    </DatasetSpecificInfo>
    <PropertyDefn>
      <Name>myns:XXX_ID</Name>
      <ElementPath>myns:XXX_ID</ElementPath>
      <Type>Integer</Type>
    </PropertyDefn>
  </GMLFeatureClass>
</GMLFeatureClassList>

The ogrinfo output of the .gml is even more plain (so there is clearly
something wrong):

1. myns:xxxlayer

The EPSG ows_metadata keyword is defined on the map level and present in the
.gml file, but not spit out in .gfs file (should it be?).

So much for now,
