WFS mapserver

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Is the mapfile below meant to serve the WFS layers directly from the
data?  Or connect to remote WFS layers?  If the former, then you need to
define the data connection (i.e. shapefile, OGR, etc.).  If the latter,
then you need to correctly define your host in CONNECTION, which
currently does not resolve.

	Hi all,

	I am trying to set up mapserver as a WFS server.  I am getting
the correct response from Get Capabilities, but when I try a sample call
I keep getting a null result.

	All I want to be able to do is find the id (feature name "ID")
of a polygon that contains a given point.  I'll put all the relevant
info below.  I can't figure out what is wrong. Can anybody help out?

	thanks much in advance,
	nelson

	Here is the WFS call that I've been trying:

	
<http://thewildwoodstudios.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../roadlessland/maps/
ira_q.map&VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=ira&Filt
er=%3CFilter%3E%3CContains%3E%3CPropertyName%3EGeometry%3C/PropertyName%
3E%3Cgml:Point%3E%3Cgml:coordinates%3E-112.99163818359375,45.54771677542
9045%3C/gml:coordinates%3E%3C/gml:Point%3E%3C/Contains%3E%3C/Filter%3E>

	This is the filter:
	
<Filter><Contains><PropertyName>Geometry<PropertyName><gml:Point><gml:co
ordinates>-112.96142578125,45.521743896993634</gml:coordinates></gml:Poi
nt></Contains></Filter>

	This is the result I get:
	<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
	<wfs:FeatureCollection
