[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WFS describeFeatureType

[Brock Anderson]

Hi List,

I am making WFS describeFeatureType requests to Mapserver 4.9 (from CVS 
this morning), but the response doesn't list any attributes.  I think I 
have taken all the usual steps to enable WFS, including:

- setting the LAYER's metadata "gml_include_items" to "all"
- setting DUMP TRUE in the LAYER

The same request and map file work against Mapserver 4.6 -- in that case 
the describeFeatureType response lists all the attributes.  Has 
something changed in the new mapserver?  What does it take to allow 
Mapserver to list the attributes?

My LAYER definition is below.

Thanks,

Brock
