Component body

This is a Web Feature Service implementation around Views and Drupal-stored geodata.

This is useful for users who must display many points on an OpenLayers map or complex data that would be poorly rendered by browsers. Essentially, GeoServer can pull node data from Drupal via WFS and display the points as a rendered image. Then the user can interact with the map by clicking and making WFS queries for point information.

This module provides:

OpenLayers

  • VirtualVector layer type
  • VirtualHover behavior
  • VirtualClick behavior

Views

  • WFS view display plugin
  • WFS view style plugin

Drupal-Independent

  • WKT parser & GML generator

The WFS module aims to live in harmony with the OpenLayers module, Geoserver module, and SLDFactory module, and the latter two are being rapidly developed on GitHub before they become proper Drupal.org modules.
