[mapserver-users] Setting up a JSONP service

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

You can also use MapServer templates to accomplish this. It's a little more work since you have to write the template but it's quite flexible then. Usually I write the template to produce JSON and then use a simple wrapper template to produce JSONP. For example, jsonp.js looks like (callback is passed in):

// MapServer Template
[callback](
  [include src="templates/json.js"]
)

Output formats look like:

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME 'JSON'
    DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'
    MIMETYPE 'application/json;'
    FORMATOPTION 'FILE=templates/json.js'
    FORMATOPTION 'ATTACHMENT=service.json'
  END

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME 'JSONP'
    DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'
    MIMETYPE 'application/json;'
    FORMATOPTION 'FILE=templates/jsonp.js'
    FORMATOPTION 'ATTACHMENT=service.json'
  END

Subject: [mapserver-users] Setting up a JSONP service

Dear List,

I have a WFS service running under MapServer that I would like to operate as JSONP service. I managed to set GEOJSON as output format but I get "Cross-Origin-Request Blocked" if I try to call it with a Javascript client (using Leaflet L.layerJSON.
The question is: Is it possible to set up a JSONP service from Mapserver and if yes, how? My current mapfile looks like this (relevant parts):

"
# in WEB - METADATA
"wfs_getfeature_formatlist" "geojson,csv,ogrgml"

OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME "geojson"
    DRIVER "OGR/GEOJSON"
    MIMETYPE "application/json; subtype=geojson; charset=utf-8"
    FORMATOPTION "STORAGE=stream"
    FORMATOPTION "FORM=SIMPLE"
    FORMATOPTION "LCO:COORDINATE_PRECISION=5"
   END
"
If this would already be a correct JSONP service, I have to look on the Leaflet side for the error...
Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Lars
