Problem with MapServer-WFS and MapStore

[Markus Vennebusch]

Dear mapstore-users,

I just started to become familiar with MapStore. One of my goals is to present data (single values and timeseries) from a WFS (provided by a self-hosted MapServer) in MapStore widgets.

As a first try, I set up a MapServer WFS service that provides some dummy data (originally from a GeoJSON file, see attachments). With QGIS I am able the get these dummy values in the "attribute table". To my understanding, this is the basis for visualisation with MapStore?

You can get more information using these links:
http://h2901511.stratoserver.net/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/transfer/mapfile.map&service=WMS&version=1.0&request=
GetCapabilities

http://h2901511.stratoserver.net/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/transfer/mapfile.map&service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=DescribeFeatureType

http://h2901511.stratoserver.net/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/transfer/mapfile.map&service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=temperature,waterlevel

(Version 2.0.0 is also possible)

"GetCapabilities" yields some warnings, especially on "Mandatory mapfile parameter ... MAP.PROJECTION ...". I tried to adjust the mapfile, but it didn't succeed. And when I try to add a new WFS service in MapStore (which shows the message "Service added correctly.") and press "Search", no content is found. I assume this is caused by wrong/bad MapServer settings?! Or is it related to MapStore?

Could you please give me some hints to find my mistakes? And: Is this the right approach to display data in widgets, at all?

Thanks a lot!!!
Markus

Hi Markus,

using http://h2901511.stratoserver.net/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/transfer/mapfile.map&service=WMS&version=1.0&request= GetCapabilities
as catalog URL I get the warning:

Dieser Katalog kann nicht zu den verfügbaren hinzugefügt werden, da er ein http-Protokoll verwendet. Bitte geben Sie eine Katalog-URL an, die das https-Protokoll verwendet.

I think you must use https and should add "https://h2901511.stratoserver.net"
in localConfig.js at proxyUrl - useCors

good luck

Stefan

Hallo Stefan,

thank you for the hint. Where can you get these detailed informations from?

So far, I don't have an SSL-certificate for my server, so "https://..." does not really make sense. Anyway, I added my server (with "http://...") to the "useCors" settings in "localConfig.js" and restarted mapstore. After adding a new WFS service, the message is "The service is not available. Please check the URL.".

Strangely, when I add "https://..." to "useCors" it says "Success", but still no search results from the new WFS server.

Do you have another idea? Tomorrow I will also try to obtain an SSL certificate from my provider...

Thanks,

Markus

Hi Oleysys,

can you please create a separated thread for your question?

We should keep separated discussions in different topics as much as possible.

Thank you. 

Lorenzo.

Hi Markus,

During my investigation for opening an issue for the bug of WFS with your MapServer,

I noticed several issues that makes me think that the compatibility is not possible for WFS and mapserver at the moment (in particular the support of JSON format for some requests like describeFeatureType and getFeature).

We will investigate on the issue, but anyway I can suggest to use GeoServer if you want to work with WFS and MapStore, that for sure provide that formats.

Hi Lorenzo,

I managed to configure my MapServer to work with an URL without ?map=...". 

But, as you already found out, there are new problems related to the output format. 

I try to find a solution, but I am also looking for yours...

Regards, 

Markus
