- 1
Feature highlight is not supported for WMS layer unless the server allows a query result format (INFO_FORMAT) of GML.
- 2(1,2,3,4,5)
Use two mapsources, one wms (for display), the other wfs for the query. Add a “query-as” attribute to the wms layer (How-to display a raster layer and query as a vector layer).
- 3(1,2,3)
GeoMoose does not currently support this query operations for this mapsource type.
- 4(1,2,3,4,5,6)
The layer on the AGS server must be configured to have “Supported Operations: Query”.
