Depends if you’re talking about connecting to a WFS service or using MapServer to create a WFS service.
See https://mapserver.org/input/vector/wfs.html for the former and https://mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html for the latter... it’s a little more involved. —Steve ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2019 10:06:40 AM To: Lime, Steve D (MNIT); [email protected] Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] map file syntax for geojson file formats Thank you very much for the quick and very clear and helpful responses. Could I ask a last question please? How could the same map file be transformed in order to create a WFS connection type? Is it something like: CONNECTIONTYPE WFS DATA ‘./cemeteries.shp’ ?

So assuming you have a file called cemeteries.geojson it should be as simple as replacing: DATA './cemeteries.shp’ with: CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION ‘./cemeteries.geojson’ See https://mapserver.org/input/vector/ogr.html for additional information on OGR support. --Steve From: mapserver-users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2019 11:24 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mapserver-users] map file syntax for geojson file formats Hello, As few years have passed since the time that I was using mapserver constantly (before geojson file format started emerging) I would like to ask if there is any basic difference while creating the map files. It would be of great help if you could provide me an example in the following map file which loads a shape file. What differences must be done in order to load the file cemetery.geojson instead of the cemetery.shp? MAP INCLUDE '../../geomoose_globals.map' WEB METADATA 'ows_title' 'Cemeteries' INCLUDE '../../common_metadata.map' 'wfs_getfeature_formatlist' 'gml,geojson' END END DEBUG 5 LAYER NAME cemeteries GROUP cemeteries STATUS ON METADATA 'ows_title' 'cemeteries' 'ows_include_items' 'all' 'gml_include_items' 'all' END TYPE POINT DATA './cemeteries.shp’ TOLERANCE 4 PROJECTION 'init=epsg:4326' END CLASS STYLE SYMBOL 'cemetery.png' SIZE 13 END END TEMPLATE 'dummy' END END ## end Map Thank you for your help.
