[OpenLayers-Users] Labels on WFS layers

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hi Luis,

>From your attached source i see, that you try to get your WFS for the
projection "EPSG:82176", but that will only work, if you use proj4js with
the matching projection file. Without proj4js OpenLayers can only transform
between the projection "EPSG:4326" and "EPSG:900913".

You should configure your WFS server (GeoServer) to deliver the data in the
projection "EPSG:4326". Then you should get a result.

Instead of the parameter 'srs', you have to use 'projection'

var wfs = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS(
	"Cities",
	serverWFS,
	{
		typename: 'topp:tasmania_cities',
		projection: 'EPSG:82176'
	}
);

But it seems, that the WFS layer you request, have no attributes to display
at all:

<gml:featureMember>
<topp:tasmania_cities fid="tasmania_cities.1893">
<gml:boundedBy>
<gml:Box srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#4326">
<gml:coordinates xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" decimal="." cs=","
ts=" ">149.64878906,-44.20277344 149.64878906,-44.20277344</gml:coordinates>
</gml:Box>
</gml:boundedBy>
<topp:the_geom>
<gml:MultiPoint srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#4326">
<gml:pointMember>
<gml:Point>
<gml:coordinates xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" decimal="." cs=","
ts=" ">149.64878906,-44.20277344</gml:coordinates>
</gml:Point>
</gml:pointMember>
</gml:MultiPoint>
</topp:the_geom>
<topp:CITY_NAME> </topp:CITY_NAME>
<topp:ADMIN_NAME> </topp:ADMIN_NAME>
<topp:CNTRY_NAME> </topp:CNTRY_NAME>
<topp:STATUS> </topp:STATUS>
<topp:POP_CLASS> </topp:POP_CLASS>
</topp:tasmania_cities>
</gml:featureMember>

Dear Arnd,

Tank you for your input but that isn't working either. Please take a look at
the attached code; I'm using Geoserver's demo Tasmania layers, hope you have
that at hand. With this code the cities' colouring is set nicely but no city
names to see.

Thank you,

Luís
