[OpenLayers-Users] how to initialize 'WFS.fromWMSLayer' with features

[John Pulles]

Hi list,

Like the example at 
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/getfeature-wfs.html, I am using the 
OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.fromWSMLayer convenience function to select 
features from a wms layer and collect the values of a certain attribute. 
When opening the same map a next time, I would like to show which 
features were selected. Now I'm looking for a way to add features to the 
wfs layer based on some attribute values, what would be the easiest way?

Thanks,
John
