Hello,
thanks for your answer. I use geoserver and therefore I could use WFS too.
But with a WFS you get only a xml (gml) I thought and i want to display the
featureinfo. is this possible with wfs, too?

Could you show me an example of how to integrate such an wfs (getfeature) in
openlayers to show the clicked value on my map. I know that I can use a
filter with wfs, but I don't know how to use it with openlayers.

I'm sorry, but I'm new in openlayers and unfortunately I'm not a pro with
geoserver.

Thanks for your help.

Regards
stash
