[mapserver-users] Setting up a template for custom WFS

[Passmore, James H.]

It's a while since I looked to be honest, but this archived thread suggests similar.
See http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Mapserver-and-Complex-Feature-support-td5232994.html

I don't know if MapServer now supports GDAL/OGR GMLAS (https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/gmlas.html), if so it may now be possible to provide complex features.

For other FOSS, you can use deegree, and GeoServer (in combination with App-Schema plugin or now/in the near future the Templating plugin).

Dear James,

Thank you for your answer. Do you know what are the specific limitations of MapServer in this regard?

Can you suggest any FOSS alternatives for publishing complex features via WFS e.g. GeoServer?

Best regards,
Marcin

	Hi Marcin,
	
	As far as I am aware, it is not possible to serve up an INSPIRE compliant (complex feature) WFS with MapServer.
