Setting up a Queriable layer?

[Brock Anderson]

Hi James,

In order to make a layer queryable via WMS GetFeatureInfo requests, I 
think your LAYER needs:

DUMP TRUE
TEMPLATE 'anything'

To control which attributes are exposed use the LAYER metadata items 
"gml_include_items" and "gml_exclude_items".

You can read about the include/exclude stuff on the WFS howto, but I 
believe it's still relavent to WMS GetFeatureInfo.

    http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_server/#layer-object

It looks like the only thing you're missing is the TEMPLATE.
