[mapserver-users] Mapserver and Complex Feature support

2015-10-28 Thread Simon Templer 

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out if and how Mapserver can be used to serve Complex 
Features via WFS 2.0. It's great news that with Mapserver 7 WFS 2.0 is 
supported, but so far I didn't have any luck in finding any particular 
documentation for how to handle complex features or even an example.
Could be that I'm looking in the wrong places or use the wrong search 
terms (or it's just my general ignorance regarding Mapserver), so I 
would be very happy if someone could give a brief overview on the status 
in Mapserver regarding complex features or at least point me in the 
right direction.


For both GeoServer (with app-schema extension) and deegree I know that 
they each use a specific mapping configuration to describe the mapping 
between database (or other data source) to the GML Application Schema 
(for instance from INSPIRE). Is there something similar done in 
Mapserver, for instance as part of a Mapfile?


Thanks

Kind regards,
Simon

Complex Features are not really supported. You could perhaps have some success
for GetFeature output by using template-driven output :
http://mapserver.org/output/template_output.html . But I haven't tried myself
and I guess that would only work for not too complex features. And
DescribeFeatureType would produce only a schema for simple features.
Thanks for the information. Do you know if there is something like that 
worked on or planned for future versions of Mapserver?



Kind regards,
Simon
