Thank you very much for your answer. I have therefore started to
investigate the possiblity to use the GeoJSON format, and now I am trying
to train with this format with this example but it doesn't work
<script type="text/javascript">
var map = new OpenLayers.Map("my_map");
var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM("OpenStreetMap");
map.addLayer(layer);
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());
map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(0,0), 2);
var citiesLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("World Cities (GeoJSON)",
{ protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
url: "http://localhost/openlayers/world_cities.json";,
format: new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON()
}),
strategies: [
new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed(),
new OpenLayers.Strategy.Cluster({distance: 15})
]
});
map.addLayer(citiesLayer);
</script>
In order to make the protocol work I have installed nginx on my laptop and
the url correctly points to the file world_cities.json in my browser.
Anyway this example doesn't work, any idea why?
Thanks!
