[mapserver-users] MapServer v. 4.10.0 featureid problem

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Jacob is bang on (I'm no expert on ArcGIS :)

If I invoke a tool like ogrinfo on the shapefile, I see no attribute
called "FID".  I do see "ID" and "DISTRICT" attributes.

Try setting "gml_featureid" "ID" in your mapfile, which should pick up
the field and process accordingly.
