[mapserver-users] MapServer SOS setup questions

[Brent Wood]

Mapservers SOS implementation is pretty minimal these days.
You might look at 52N for their FOSS SOS server. You can either harvest you data into the internal db, or use Hibernate to build a middleware tool that can access your db directly.

I am quite new to MapServer, and am trying to get up to speed as quickly as possible. The reason for using MapServer’s SOS is that the database structure is custom and I’m not aware of any other SOS servers that support custom MySQL databases (if you can point me in a direction easier than MapServer, please do!).  So, the questions I am hoping to get clarification on are:  1.      How do you connect different layers together? e.g. layer and sublayer. What is the syntax for that in the mapfile? 2.      Is there a way to dynamically generate layers (e.g. from database query result), or does the layer structure have to be hardcoded? 3.      When you do a GetObservation, how do you set up MapServer so that that request pulls data from the database, e.g. OVF file configuration?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.  Best regards,Carsen
