[mapserver-users] Mapserver and GDB files

[Raivo Alla]

Thank you all very much for answers.
I am working on a project, where all data is in .gdb files and styles in
ArcGIS .lyr format.
I guess both - getting .gdb and .lyr files working in mapserver environment
- are at the moment not possible?
So I must convert convert .gdb files (using FME maybe?) to some readable
format like shapefiles (if possible) and
just type manually mapserver symbology files... uhh.
