MapServer, PostGIS, and WFS

[Christopher Condit]

Hi All-

I've got a curious problem with MapServer 4.6 that I'm trying to use for
WMS and WFS.  If I query a shape file layer, everything runs fine.
However, when I attempt the same with a PostGIS layer, things don't go
so smoothly.  The WMS from PostGIS works fine - but the WFS yields
strange results.

When I query the server with:

http://localhost/mapserver/mapserv.exe?MAP=maps/tutorial/example1-5.map&
SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&typename=simpletest&BBOX=-9
0,0,-90,0

 

I get the following error:

XML Parsing Error: junk after document element

Location:
http://localhost/mapserver/mapserv.exe?MAP=maps/tutorial/example1-5.map&
SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&typename=simpletestBBOX=-90
,0,-90,0

Line Number 79, Column 1:msPOSTGISLayerRetrievePK: field length =
$imsPOSTGISLayerRetrievePK: field length = $imsPOSTGISLayerRetrievePK:
field length = $i

 

The data in PostGIS is loaded from the shapefile that _is_ working for
both WMS and WFS.  Is there another step I need to make WFS work with
PostGIS?

 

Thanks in advance...

 

Chris

 

Here's the LAYER definition from my Map file
