[OpenLayers-Dev] Load external GML file in OpenLayers

[Gorka López Rivacoba]

Thanks Andreas and Toni for your help,

In my case (rare case), the server page is in a server computer and it has
to read a gml file that is in client computer. This applicattion only has to
run in Internet Explorer. This is very risky in a normal applications, but
in my case, it is for internal porpouse and I could add all the permissions
I want in the client.

Adding the web in Internet Explorer trusted sites, adding permissions to
"Initialize and generate scripts to ActiveX controls not marked as safe" and
loading the gml file like (gmlDoc = "file:///c:/demo.gml"):

function loadParams(gmlDoc){

   if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument){

    xmlDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);

    xmlDoc.onload = readParams;

  } else if (window.ActiveXObject){

    xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

    xmlDoc.async = false;

    xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () {

      if (xmlDoc.readyState == 4) readParams()

    };

  } else{

    alert('This script is not supported by your browser');

    return;

  }

  xmlDoc.load(gmlDoc);

}

I know this is not a normal case, but although it is not the better
solution, I could resolve my problem with permissions.

Thanks for your responses.

Best regards,

Gorka López
