[mapserver-users] Updating MapCache on feature edits

[Eichner, Andreas - SID]

Seth,

you can use OGR to retrieve the updated features and give it to mapcache_seed.
See http://mapserver.org/mapcache/seed.html#optional-commandline-options-when-using-ogr-geos .

The ows_updatesequence metadata signals changes in the metadata returned by a GetCapabilities request, i.e. when adding/removing layers, descriptions and the like.
