[mapserver-users] GML Invalid exterior ring

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Looks like this:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4934

Thus once MS4W contains GDAL 1.10 is should work again.
By looking at your gml file I think it is generated by Mapserver, not SQL server. Was the attachment correct?

I've worked my way back through the ms4w versions, and have found that a change between 3.0.3 and 3.0.4-beta1 may be the culprit:

ms4w 3.0.3 - Works
ms4w 3.0.4-beta1 - Invalid exterior ring
ms4w 3.0.5 - Invalid exterior ring
ms4w 3.0.6 - Invalid exterior ring

GDAL changed from 1.8.1RC2 to 1.9.0 in that step.  I've looked through the GDAL release notes, but nothing is jumping out at me.  Two questions:

1. Do you know of any reason why the GML would fail to draw in recent versions?  Ideally, I'd like to correct my GML or MapServer configuration to get it to work in the latest ms4w version.

2. If there's no solution in #1, would it be feasible to downgrade GDAL/OGR while keeping the remainder of ms4w intact (or would that be asking for trouble)?

A million thanks,
Greg
