[OpenLayers-Users] zoomed out view is wms and zoomed in is wfs

[sdunne]

Hi everybody on the OL list.
I am Steve and I work at LISAsoft in Sydney. Im quite new to OpenLayers, but
am enjoying working in the environment.

Sometimes I read things in the API and don't exactly understand the
definitions. So I am trying to figure out if this is a posibility. 

Basically I have been asked to find out if an application can be created
that uses a wms for higher levels, therefore limiting the amount of time for
load, then as the user zooms in, the layers change to wfs layers therefore
allowing features to be clicked and data returned.

I understand there is a function openlayers.protocol.wfs.fromWMSLayer. I am
a bit confused as to how it works, or even if it is what I am looking for.

Will this functionality, (or is it possible) have a smooth transition from
wms to wfs as a user zooms in?

Thanks
Steve
