Thanks Jeff, I will give it a look!
Kind regards Petros -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: mapserver-users <[email protected]> För Jeff McKenna Skickat: den 26 februari 2020 16:32 Till: [email protected] Ämne: Re: [mapserver-users] Bewbie question about MapServer and WPS Hi Petros, Since you are examining WPS, I recommend ZOO-Project (http://zoo-project.org/), from the MapServer family, which supports writing services in many languages (C, Python, PHP, JavaScript, ...), as well as creating GDAL/OGR services, and even outputting dynamic MapServer WMS services on-the-fly (meaning: it creates a MapServer mapfile that serves the result through a web map service). But here is a great working example: - MapServer is serving the background data (spatialite database) here through GeoJSON/WMS and the application leverages ZOO-Project to execute spatial commands (buffer etc). Give it a try at https://ms4w.dev/zoo-project/demo/ If you check Developer Tools in your browser, you will see at call to the ZOO loader (https://ms4w.dev/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi) and sending a request such as https://pastebin.com/nhpyc2jx And the response from MapServer in GeoJSON: https://pastebin.com/G2VEVYRF All thanks to the power of ZOO-Project WPS !!! Hope that opens doors for you. -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services https://gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 2020-02-26 8:43 a.m., [email protected] wrote: > Hi all, > > I have to warn you that I am entirely new to GIS and all the terminology > so my questions might be strange.
