[OpenLayers-Users] Array of url's not working with WFS protocol

[Ivan Grcic]

Hi,

may I just add that adding an layer-array for vector layers isnt so
important as it is for wms tiles, where lots of request are issued and
we can 'cheat' the browser to load more tiles at once. We usually dont
request so many WFS request as we do with WMS.

Also, making layer array for WFS protocol would be somehow strange,
since we usually use wfs protocol to change features (make WFS
transactions), so If we have multiple sources that means we would have
multiple datasources to keep in sync...

I only see advantage of making this for servers that are under heavy
load, and where we only read features (no WFS-T involved). But because
of the proxy, maybe its just easier to make some kind of server load
balancing then? ( mod_proxy_balancer or simliar if we talk about
Apache)

Just my thoughts...

cheers
