[OpenLayers-Users] creating a persistent vector/feature object from wfs

[G. Allegri]

Ok, I had already tried Layer.GML putting the whole wfs request url
inside it, but it didn't seem to work...

OpenLayers.Layer.GML("IET_GML","http://localhost/IETclient/wxsIET.php?TYPENAME=ammsimple3&FORMAT=GML&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&SRS=EPSG%3A3003&BBOX=1612519,5108846.747534517,1661798.7475345167,5158126.495069034")

What's wrong with this?
