[mapserver-users] WFS error

[S D Barnes]

I got it! You were right about the circular WFS service.  Once I commented
out the CONNECTION lines, I got a proper GML. (Did a wms to check the data
too, and it was fine...)

Hi,

It is not totally clear for me where the data for the layer
local_priority_projects are. Do you perhaps have it locally on your server?
Now it looks like you have set up a circular WFS service at www.tarpogis.org
which is trying to read and cascade WFS data from the same service at
www.tarpogis.org.

When creating WFS service I suggest to test is first with WMS.  When you can
see the layer as a map through WMS you know that reading the source data is
successful.  After that you can continue to WFS.

can't find a reference for online.  I'm attempting to set up a WFS, but I
keep on getting this error spit back at me when doing a getfeature:

A getcapabilities request comes back fine, but not a getfeature request.
>From what I've read it looks as though the getfeature query is returning a
null set.  I'm not sure what is wrong, but my bet is that it's some sort of
beginner's mistake.  Any help would be most appreciated.  Here's the
