Re: [Gwt-openlayers-users] Producing clickable layers from WMS

[Couzic M. <mik...@gm...>]

Hi Philipp,

I needed this kind of functionnality, but I didn't use WMS, just WFS.
The idea is to get your polygons from the WFS protocol, and load them into
your VectorLayer. If your polygons are static, you can even use GML files.
But I'm not sure that's what you're looking for, as this solution implies
the WMS is completely independant from the polygons.

Ask me if you want more info, I could even provide you with sample code if
you want.

Cheers,
Mikael
