Dear list,
I just tested a nightly build from http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk, I took the
dev release of yesterday (which would be MapServer version 6.5dev). I am using
a Windows Server (2008 , 64-bits).
I am using dynamic variable substitution in my mapfile and I used to put the
validation pattern and the default value into the METADATA section of my layer.
Something like:
LAYER
....
METADATA
"default_myvariable" "fake"
"myvariable_validation_pattern" "^[a-zA-Z\-]+$"
END
....
END
This used to work (with MapServer 6.0.3 / gisinternals, stable release).
But using the dev version, the pattern isn't validated anymore.
I was able to make it work again by defining a VALIDATION section in my LAYER
definition:
LAYER
....
VALIDATION
"default_ myvariable" "-1"
"myvariable" "^[a-zA-Z\-]+$"
END
....
END
Thus my question, is there a plan to deprecate the variable substitution stuff
from the METADATA section or is this a kind of bug ?
Thanks in advance for your answer
Best regards
Michael
