[Qgis-developer] QGIS MapServer and jQuery OpenLayer Client for Mobile Devices

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Noli,

 QGIS server and QGIS webclient can be regarded as two separate 
 projects. While we try to integrate the two better, there is no reason 
 why you cannot develop something in parallel with a different framework.

 The reason why I went with ExtJS, GeoExt and OpenLayers is that there 
 is a community of governmental organizations around these frameworks in 
 Switzerland, where I work. This way we can share costs and knowledge.

 As to mobile frameworks the same group decided to sponsor OpenLayers to 
 improve mobile device support. This is now available as part of 
 OpenLayers 2.11. We decided that we will be using the Sencha framework 
 (instead of jquery mobile), because it is from the same 
 company/community like ExtJS and also GeoExt will most likely be using 
 the Sencha framework.

 I expect to start working on a mobile client in parallel to QGIS 
 webclient (we could name it QGIS mobile client) in autumn this year if 
 someone wants to join the effort.

 Regarding the WMS layer of gis.uster.ch: you should see all you need in 
 the GetCapabilities request listed at http://gis.uster.ch/ - it really 
 contains all the information you need to later issue GetMap, 
 GetFeatureInfo, GetLegendGraphic or GetPrint requests. Note that this is 
 a raster based WMS - it is not a WFS. Here is one link to a 
 GetCapbilities request: 
 http://gis.uster.ch/cgi/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=/home/www/projekte/av/grundplan_av.qgs&service=WMS&Request=GetCapabilities

 Hope this helps,
 Andreas
