[mapserver-users] Odd warning in WFS GetCapabilities ~ what's missing in the config?

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

Hi,

With my minimal mapfile for the states.shp the behaviour seems to be as documented.  Projection given in only one place from the list is enough for making the warning to disappear. Something that you have in a different way must make the difference. Some alternatives:
- you do not use shapefiles
- you have a longer list in LAYER "OWS_SRS" "CRS:84 EPSG:27700 EPSG:3034 EPSG:4258 EPSG:4326"
- some combination of per se correct metadata but appearing in several places; such interactions are usually not tested by developers, they are not good in imaging what all we users can write to our mapfiles.

<!--
WARNING: Mandatory mapfile parameter: (at least one of) MAP.PROJECTION, LAYER.PROJECTION or wfs/ows_srs metadata was missing in this context.
-->

So as I understand it this is still a bit buggy.

The message should really read:

<!--
WARNING: Mandatory mapfile parameter: wfs_srs metadata is missing in this context.
-->

thanks again
