Mapscript/Python setting featureID for WFS

[Scott Schwab]

I am new to MapServer and MapScript, so sorry if this is an obvious question.

I have a CGI-BIN script, in python, which produces a series of layers, each
layer with one or more shapeObjs placed within it.  If I produce an image
from this script, it looks fine.

I decided to try WFS, and my GetCapabilities request seems to work okay, but
when I do a getFeature on the layer, I get the proper boundaries, but I get
the message of FeatureId item "ID" not found in typename "layerOne".  (See
below)

My question is, since I am producing the shape and layer on the fly, based
on a set of geographic points, how do I set attribute on the shape or layer
that is the value for an feature id attribute "ID".  If I use
shpObj.initValue(#) and shpObj.setValue(i,value), how do I associate the
feature item tag "ID" with the value?

Thank you for any ideas and help,
Scott
