Hi Steve, Even I am new to the company. So do not have much details. But I think , The GetProfileView operation returns a profile view of LIDAR data. Upon receiving a GetProfileView request, a WMS shall either satisfy the request or issue a service exception.
The WMS Server we have deals with LIDAR DATA (LAS Files). So when we draw a line on the display lidar data and send a request for the getProfileView, we get an image back as response if everything happened good. Else we get a service exception. The key value pairs ( parameters) passed along with getProfileView operation are mentioned in the URL I specified in my previous email. I hope this information may give you some additional understanding. Do you think I can use mapscript to make calls to any service ( NOT WMS) and render the response image as a layer along with other shape file data layers? Thanks a lot for trying to help me. I am extremely sorry for giving you limited info, I myself do not know much about all this . Sorry! Thanks, Sowmya. _______________________________ Sowmya Tiramdasu QCoherent Software 9668 Madison Blvd., Suite 202 Madison, AL 35758 (256) 461-8289 Telephone (256) 461-8249 Fax www.geocue.com -----Original Message----- From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Stephen Woodbridge Sent: Friday, July 20, 2012 12:35 PM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Can Map Server serve non WMS services? Hi Sowmya, Since you are making a non-standard WMS request GetProfileView, i doubt that anyone here knows what that does, and as such, is probably not going to be able to help you. You need to provide a detailed description of what GetProfileView does, like what are the inputs, what is the expect output, and how is it generated. That said, someone programmed that up on your side and it is likely that they would have to program support for that using mapserver as a tools set and maybe using something like mapscript. In general, mapserver is a map rendering and querying engine that has some additional geo-processing tools and access to most core features for programming using mapscript.
