[RESOLVED:] [mapserver-users] How do I get WFS vector type (LINE, POINT or POLYGON) from mapserver WFS query?

[Peter Willis]

O.K., that was brief and non-productive....

The 'getFeature' query XML results have ms:msGeometry entries.

ie:

<ms:msGeometry>
-
<gml:Polygon srsName="EPSG:4269">  <<--------------------HERE!!
-
<gml:outerBoundaryIs>
-
<gml:LinearRing>
-
<gml:coordinates>
</gml:coordinates>
</gml:LinearRing>
</gml:outerBoundaryIs>
</gml:Polygon>
</ms:msGeometry>


Sorry about that.


Peter
