[OpenLayers-Users] Classic GIS Info tool

[jegou at univ-tlse2.fr]

Hello all,

I'm using OpenLayers to build a geodata exploring map : several layers  
of polygons and points, with attributes data.

To show those attributes to the visitor, i'd like to offer an Info  
tool, the classic "I" icon tool on our desktop GIS.

I've tested the SelectFeature control, but it's only returning one  
feature at a time.

I've seen the GetFeatureInfo control, but it's reserved to WFS  
datasources (i may be wrong), and i'm using a KML source (generated  
from PostGIS tables).

I've also seen the GetFeature control from the trunk version docs :
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Control/GetFeature-js.html

But i'm lost at testing it. Anyone has an example of it's use ?

Another solution could be generating the on click features list by  
postgis, but it seems slow and counter-intuitive (the features are  
already client side).

Thanks for any help,
