The main difference is IMHO that Geoserver is more efficient using database sources like Oracle Spatial or PostGIS. Mapserver runs a query for each feature to be retrieved, whereas Geoserver will use more "smart" SQL to retrieve the features in 1 pass to the DB.

Hi all,
I'd like to compare WFS Capabilities of Mapserver and GeoServer.
I know that Geoserver is better because MapServer doesn't support WFS-T but supports only Base WFS. So, respect to Base WFS, wich is the difference with GeoServer ?
How many functionalities Geoserver has that MapServer hasn't ??
Than u.
Fabio.
