Mr. Kralidis,
Ask and ye shall receive, apparently!
Thanks much. I don't usually look at the comments at the end of the
tutorials/articles on the Mapserver page... But in this case, my answer
was there all along, I just never scrolled down past the end of the
article :)
Out of curiosity, why does it say [Burlington] in your user name? Which
Burlington?
Thanks much!
Nick

As of MapServer 4.6 (I believe), you must explicitly cite that you want
to include the fieldnames in the output GML response.
If you want to include all your fields, you would put:
"gml_include_items" "all"
...in your LAYER/METADATA block. If you don't want to include all
fields, you would put:
"gml_include_items" "myid,iname"
...type of thing.
See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server for more details.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WMS GetFeatureInfo response
question/issue
I am trying to use Queryable WMS with MapServer as my WMS server.
After some initial confusion, it would seem I have my basic toolset
working, because I can issue a query and get a response.
However, my response lacks useful feature data. This is what has
confounded me. From the tutorials/documentatation/e-mail lists I've
read, it seems like MapServer lacks any sort of way to control what
feature data is returned... you turn on DUMP TRUE and you just get
everything under the point you queried. I look at the shape file which
is the data source for my query layer, and the shape file DBF has
roughly 20 different attributes... strings, integers, and floats. Lots
of stuff. The layer is a polygon layer.
If the point I query does not hit a polygon, no data is returned (well,
the GML returned is an empty shell).
If I hit a point, I get the GML coordinates and that is it.

Note that, I have tried adding TEMPLATE entries inside of each class,
and it has not changed the output result.
I am using Mapserver 4.6.1
So... how do I get my layer to return more attribute data than just
coordinates?
Here is a list of the attributes in the shapefile.
