Sorry to waste bandwidth but I think I'm barking up the wrong tree. This is a problem a ran into a while ago and deferred. Looking at it more closely, I was trying to use a Vector layer with the WFS protocol which is why I could not use mergeNewParams. If I use a WFS layer directly mergeNewParams is available, and now the issue seems to be that geoserver expects a feature id filter or something similar instead, so I'll ask there. If anyone knows how to do this though, please let me know :)

Please be gentle as this is probably just a basic misunderstanding on my part. First I am using geoserver's new sql view capability which lets you run arbitrary sql to generate features, and it works fine from a WMS layer. I believe it will gladly return the results in any WFS format as well (assuming I can pass my parameters to it). So I have a WMS layer which I am doing things like wmsLayer.mergeNewParams( { viewparams: 'x:1;y:3;z:3' }); Which causes the layer to be refreshed based on the parameters. I want to use a WFS layer instead, but can't figure out how to do this (or the equivalent) with the final goal of putting the features returned into a store. mergeNewParams is not valid on a WFS layer so I don't know how to pass them. Any hints? thanks, charles _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users
