i am one of the other folks working on WFS support for google maps
TNTmap has it in its alpha version… the services panel lets you choose wfs services
http://www.microimages.com/ogc/alpha

a stripped down example targetting a specific wfs is at http://www.dyasdesigns.com/egeotest/wfsusa.htm

Basically I have adapted EGeoXML(KML parser to parse GML and GeoRSS.

It is a work in progress but quite far along

Dyas Designs is my private site and is sometimes down but the microimages.com should always be up and running.

There are some limitations including the slow on the fly polyline encoding and wfs servers who wont serve up latlong coordinates

Hi Kyle.

I’ve had a go with this for our site. I’ve reimplemented your wfs library to use the GMap2 class and used xparse (http://www.jeremie.com/Dev/XML) for the attribute data.

There’s a link to a live version below: It’s probably buggy but the only thing I can’t get to work at all is the openInfoWindowHTML method so I’ve had to bung the attribute data into a separate div below the map. I wondered if this might have something to do with clearing the overlays when the map moves.

Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Cheers. Dan

Thanks

Wade, I have a proxy script on my server which basically just takes the request and passes it on to the remote WFS server:

I am having trouble using your code to load an xml file off another server. I understand that loading xml files is subject to the ‘same origin’ rule, which is a security option in most browsers that prevents web pages from loading data from sites with different base urls. How have you overcome this? So far as I can tell, you should be getting an error when you load the page:

Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open

OOps! it includes js file. Now got error saying object doesn’t support this property or method at line 152. I am actually trying to overlay simple line feature.
