Re: [mapserver-users] WMS raster display,getfeatureinfo from vector layer

2008-07-11 Thread percy
I'm starting to think that just handling this with a mapscript wrapper 
script might be the easiest approach. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Percy

Scenario: we have a Geologic map that has super complex cartography 
that we don't want to reproduce in the mapfile (600+ classes, tons 
of patterns, etc). So we dumped out a raster of it to serve as WMS.


However, when the user does a GetFeatureInfo on this WMS, we want to 
return attribute data from the original shapefile.


I can envision this being taken care of at the layer level as a 
metadata tag like WMS_query_redirect.


In the short term we're working on a little apache mod_rewrite magic 
to take care of it :-)
