So you're looking to use data from a remote OGC:WFS as part of your OGC:WMS?
If this is the case, you can setup a LAYER block in your OGC:WMS mapfile to point to an OGC:WFS resource, and use CLASS blocks See: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_client for details. There's also an example of this in the MapServer OGC Web Services Workshop (http://devgeo.cciw.ca/ms_ogc_workshop/index.html). As far as how this works under the hood, mapserver developers: when someone does a GetMap w/ SLD w/ Filter, if the layer in question is an OGC:WFS layer, will that filter be passed? I think it would be, but haven't tested this extensively.

So the client (browser) requests map to WMS and WMS takes data from WFS. In this cascading there are two problms : 1) The filters are applicable only server side ! Client doesn't put wfs-filter in the WMS request! 2)If the client writes filter in SLD mode in the WMS request WMS downloads all of the GML file and than works with the filter !!!! So I'd like to try with OWS parameters to see how it works. Thank you ! ************************************************************************ ******************** Eng.
