I did something like that using GML ... There are some demos on the umn website ... But pretty much just make your webservice output xml and add an entry to your mapfile.

I want to show the points in a map. I thought that I get the data from the web service and put it via mapscript to a layer. Should be possible - but what is to do when I want to serve this dynamic feature layer in WMS. At the moment the only thing that I see to solve this is to write the data from the web service in file and use this for the WMS. Is there a better possiblity? Has someone done something like that? Is there a difference in performance between reading the data from a file and adding data directly in mapscript? Thanks and best regards Norbert
