[MapServer-users] Vector tileindex with connectiontype OGR

[Peter Schmitt]

Hi,

How do I get a vector tileindex working with another Mapserver layer as the
tileindex?

I have the following tindex.geojson:

{
"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[{"type":"Feature","properties":{"location":"/app/mapfiles/test.geojson"},"geometry":{"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[122.013774753,29.96355712],[122.014247522,29.915620561],[122.06927508,29.916020438],[122.068828693,29.963957768],[122.013774753,29.96355712]]]}}]}


Which points to a single file /app/mapfiles/test.geojson:

{"type":"Feature","properties":{},"geometry":{"coordinates":[[[122.04067791363536,29.944772490597998],[122.03620089848994,29.94141730774004],[122.03819740524398,29.937852301951125],[122.0446709271447,29.938166866424368],[122.04648593328471,29.940211511256464],[122.04067791363536,29.944772490597998]]],"type":"Polygon"}}


I would like to define the TILEINDEX as one MapServer Layer and have
another MapServer layer reference that tile index.  I tried this layer:

  LAYER
    NAME "vector_via_ogr"
    TYPE POLYGON
    TILEINDEX tindex_ogr
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    STATUS OFF
  END

but when I run `mapserv -nh
QUERY_STRING='service=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&map=/app/mapfiles/test2.map&typename=vector_via_ogr&OUTPUTFORMAT=geojson'`,
I get the following error:

"msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. Open failed for OGR connection in layer
`vector_via_ogr'.  File not found or unsupported format. Check server
logs."


If I run without CONNECTIONTYPE OGR, I get the following error:

"msTiledSHPOpenFile(): Shapefile error. Tileindex layer must be a
shapefile."


I can get a similar thing working for a TILEINDEX of rasters. However I
cannot get it working on a TILEINDEX of vectors.  The example below is the
simplest reproduce case I could create.  Ultimately I plan on having a
TILEINDEX point to a layer of defined via CONNECTIONTYPE postgis.

How do I get a vector tileindex working with another Mapserver layer as the
tileindex?

Thanks!
Pete
