Querying map layer ?

[cem.c...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone !

I'm turning around to find out what's missing in order to do queries on a layer in the map !

Since i've checked the Queryable box in the choosen layer, I don't know where to go next...

Is there something else to activate or install in my dev env. ?

Maybe it should be in the front of my noose (as said in French :) ! )...

Thanks for the advice(s).

Queryable refers to WMS layers, right?
This means that the WMS service supports this & so that if you click
on a point, you can get back some attributes.

I know that GeoServer can support that, am not sure about other WMS.

The queryable information is contained in the WMS capabilities
document, the one that gets returned when you hit
http://host:port/geoserver/ows?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS
