Fwd: Problems with importing WFS in UDig

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I am almost sure I faced this same problem with uDig and a bit older Mapserver version. In addition another WFS client reported the same error when used in http POST mode, while http GET was OK. But even if my own WFS services failed (built on MS4W) the demo WFS site of the DM Solutions worked in both GET and POST modes and I suppose it is Mapserver WFS. I could not solve the problem and changed to Geoserver WFS.

I believe this problem is easy to repeat with MS4W-WFS and for example CadCorp Sis map browser.

Regards,

-Jukka Rahkonen-

Can you post the WFS GetCapabilities response?

Apparently uDIG encounters a <BR> tag somewhere (without </BR>), which is likely an HTML tag.

Best regards,
Bart

UDig


Dear Mailing List,

I have problems with importing Features from a WFS in the free GIS Software "UDig" (MapServer 4.8.4).

After entering the WFS Request 

"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=features/wk_wfs.map&VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities"

UDig reports the following error message:

 "The element type "br" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</br>" "

What does this error message mean?



The Layer in the WFS Mapfile looks like this:

LAYER
  	NAME "Schloss"
  	STATUS ON
	DATA "schlk"
  	TYPE POINT
  	PROJECTION
    		"init=epsg:23033"
  	END
  	DUMP TRUE          
  	CLASS
   	 SYMBOL "bild_schloss"
         TEMPLATE "index_wfs.html"
        END
	METADATA
    	     "wfs_title" "Schloss" 
    	     "gml_include_items" "all"  
	     "wfs_extent" "454165.1980 309893.7130 507688.8757 352760.1515"
  	END
END 
END 

Is there maybe an error in the mapfile? 
But the GML Code appears, after entering the WFS Request in the Internet Explorer.

Could you please help me?

Thanks,

karin
