[OpenLayers-Users] GML feature attributes

[Chris Green]

Hi David

I am using MapServer. Looking at the response in Firefox it is only sending
geometry, no attributes. Any idea how to persuade it to be more forthcoming?

Chris,

I would first verify that your WFS server is sending the attributes in
the getFeature request.  Some WFS servers only send the geometry info
by default and need some additional configuration tweaks to include
the attribute info.  What are you using as a WFS server?

David.
