[OpenLayers-Users] Missing <ms:msGeometry> for vector layer

[Frank Broniewski]

Thanks for the response, Eric. I tested that already without success.
I found meanwhile a Mapserver Bug report concerning this issue: 
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3235

So it's (luckily) not an OpenLayers issue
