WFS problem solved - projection issue

[nelson guda]

WFS problem solved - projection issue:

I was having a problem with getting WFS to work correctly on  
mapserver.  The mapserver WFS was functioning properly (returning the  
correct info from a GetCapabilities request.  However the map did not  
function properly.  Tom Kralidis helped me solve the problem by  
identifying that I had more than one projection definition in the WFS  
mapfile - WFS mapfiles will not function with more than one level of  
projection.

Here are some snippets from our exchange:

> The data from the shapefile is in NAD 27, GRS80.  Which I  think is

  - I think it's EPSG:4269: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4269

  - You have a .prj file, which, if exists, defines the coord sys for  
the data.  Eyeballing the .prj file and checking http:// 
spatialreference.org/ tells me that EPSG:4269 corresponds to this.


********* Key Point ********
Remember, WFS can only output ONE SRS, usually the native SRS of the
data.  WMS can output MANY SRSs, hence MAP/WEB/METADATA/wms_srs.

  - Thanks, Tom.
