[OpenLayers-Users] create a layer from a getFeature url ?

[Pierre GIRAUD]

This worked for me with this configuration :

function init(){
            OpenLayers.ProxyHost="/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi/?url=";
            map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');
            layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "OpenLayers WMS",
                "http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0", {layers: 'basic'} );
            map.addLayer(layer);

            layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS( "Owl Survey",
                "http://swing.brgm.fr/cgi-bin/carrieres",
                {typename: "exploitationsponctualsproduction", maxfeatures: 1},
                { featureClass: OpenLayers.Feature.WFS});
            map.addLayer(layer);
            map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());
            map.zoomToMaxExtent();
        }

Please note that you probably need a proxy if the domain of you html
page and the one for the WFS server are not the same.

Regards.
