Steve, Here are more details, I am sure you'll have some further suggestions:
There is a project called GeoReport, part of GeoBI suite, that integrates the data coming from Business Intelligence processes (Pentaho BI) with their cartographic representation. Since I am pretty much involved in both areas (WebGIS, BI), this seems very interesting to me, although I first saw it yesterday :-( Here are the main informations about GeoReport: http://www.geobi.org/2009/01/georeport-module.html As I can see, basically, there is a MapOL module that runs BI process in order to get resultset, join it with geometries coming from GeoServer (WFS) and returns GeoJSON data to WebGIS client (MapFish and OpenLayers + Geostat widgets) which displays it on the map. I have been in contact with Fabio (he is "responsible" for all this). Based on what he said, I understood (maybe wrongly) that WFS server needs to return GeoJSON, and GeoServer can do it. Now, as I write this to you, it seems like MapOL is responsible for creating GeoJSON data ?! Anyway, I am new to this almost as you and if you can take a look on above link, I would appreciate it very much. I "only" want to use MapServer instead of GeoServer. If I can't do it, then I'll rather do nothing as I have no intentions to use anything but MapServer :-) thanks very much regards, dejan "Steve Lime" <steve.l...@dnr.state.mn.us> wrote on 01.07.2009 16:36:48: > Depends on how you need to access it.
