[mapserver-users] uDig and MapServer WFS

Tue Nov 3 09:36:51 PST 2009

Dear All,

I'm trying to use uDig in connection with MapServer's WFS capability.  I
have set up a .map file that contains all the information needed for a WFS
according to the instructions in the MapServer user guide
<http://mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html> and can get the XML in response
to a get capabilities:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/labuan/mapfiles/labuan_w
fs.map&SERVICE=wfs&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities 

But if I open the service using uDig although I can select layers and they
apper in the layers view, no data is displayed and the table view contains 0
records and the layer count is 0.

If I use the same map file and open the layers as a WMS then I can see the
data

Does anybody have any suggestion regarding what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Graham

  # Layer objects are defined beneath the map object.  You need at least one

hard-coded

You'd

  # have to have a very specialized application to need more than 100 layers
