Chip,
do a DescribeFeatureType request on your WFS, maybe the attribute has a
namespace in front of it and you need to use that namespace in the
LABELITEM, so eg ms:STATE. But to be sure, check your
DescribeFeatureType response.
?request=DescribeFeatureType&typename=states&version=1.0.0
Best regards,
Bart

I am beginning to learn WFS and have had some success in setting up a WFS
server using MapServer 4.6.1 under IIS6 and then accessing it. However, I
am not able to get "gml_include_items" to work. Here is my WFS server
layer:
#####################################
# WFS States
#
LAYER
NAME "states"
METADATA
"wfs_title" "States"
"gml_include_items" "STATE"
END
DATA "US/States/statesp020"
STATUS ON
TYPE polygon
DUMP TRUE
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326"
END
CLASS
STYLE
COLOR 0 0 255
END
END
END
-------------------------------------
And here is the call from Mapserver as a client:
#####################################
# getWFS Layer
#
LAYER
NAME "getWFS"
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS ON
CONNECTIONTYPE WFS
CONNECTION
"http://mapwfs.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=../mapfiles/map_files/wfs_test.ma

"wfs_srs" "epsg:4326"
END
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326"
END
LABELITEM STATE

END
LABEL

OUTLINECOLOR 200 0 0

END
END
END
------------------------------------
Here is the error I receive:
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'getWFS'.
msOGRLayerInitItemInfo(): OGR error. Invalid Field name: STATE
If I leave the LABELITEM off the layer draws fine (with no layers). The
shapefile used by the WFS server does have a "STATE" attribute. I have
tried replacing "STATE" with "all" in the gml_include_items with the same
result. Looking at the GML produced, thee are no attribute fields included
there.
If I access the WFS server directly using mode=map and include the same
label info in its mapfile, the labels show up fine.
What am I doing wrong that the attributes are not being sent by the WFS
server in the GML?
