Hi James,

In order to make a layer queryable via WMS GetFeatureInfo requests, I think your LAYER needs:

DUMP TRUE
TEMPLATE 'anything'

To control which attributes are exposed use the LAYER metadata items "gml_include_items" and "gml_exclude_items".

You can read about the include/exclude stuff on the WFS howto, but I believe it's still relavent to WMS GetFeatureInfo.

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_server/#layer-object

It looks like the only thing you're missing is the TEMPLATE.

Hi all,

How do I setup a queriable layer in my map file?

Here's what I've got, please tell me what I have missed / overlooked:

  LAYER
     NAME        "my_point"
     DATA        "/home/data/my_point_GDA94.shp"
     TYPE        POINT
     STATUS      ON
     TRANSPARENCY ALPHA
     LABELITEM   "NAME"
     MAXSCALE    1000000.0
     MINSCALE    1.0
     SYMBOLSCALE 10000.0
     TOLERANCE   5
     DUMP        TRUE # Allow GML export.
     CLASS
        LABEL
           ANTIALIAS   true
           FONT        "sans"
           COLOR       255 255 255
           POSITION    lr
        END
        STYLE
           COLOR          255 0 0
           SYMBOL        'circle'
           SIZE        1
        END
     END
     METADATA
        wms_title            "my_point"
        wms_srs              "EPSG:4326"
        wms_abstract         "my points"
        "gml_include_items"  "all"
     END
  END

I only need the GML response. I'm not using mapserver as the client!

Cheers,

James
