help w/ WFS request

Thanks for the prompt replies Perry and Bart!

I found part of my problem was that the TNS_ADMIN variable was not being 
recognized so mapserver was not finding my tnsnames.ora. Having 
corrected that, I now get the correct coordinates in the response, but 
it 's not finding  any features. This is mapserver 4.8.3 (on RHEL WS4)  
running against an Oracle (10.1.0.4) spatial data source.

Here's my current request and response. I expect to find 67 point 
features w/in this particular geographic extent, but the 
featureCollection is coming back empty.  The complete 
DescribeFeatureType response is listed at the bottom of the message.

Thanks again for your help!
