Functions

fromWMSLayer

OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.fromWMSLayer = function( layer,
options )

Convenience function to create a WFS protocol from a WMS layer. This makes the assumption that a WFS requests can be issued at the same URL as WMS requests and that a WFS featureType exists with the same name as the WMS layer.

This function is designed to auto-configure url, <featureType>, <featurePrefix> and <srsName> for WFS <version> 1.1.0. Note that srsName matching with the WMS layer will not work with WFS 1.0.0.

Parameters

layer	{OpenLayers.Layer.WMS} WMS layer that has a matching WFS FeatureType at the same server url with the same typename.
options	{Object} Default properties to be set on the protocol.
