AW: [Freegis-list] WMS Freeware

["Müller, Markus"]

Hi Daniel

when it comes to WMS-compliance, then the JaGo-WMS (now deegree-WMS,
http://www.deegree.org/demo/index.html) should be a good choice. So far only
WMS 1.0.0 is supported with 1.1.1 being work in progress. English
documentation will also be supplied in the next few days.


regards

Markus

Well, first of all the MapServer homepage says that it is still in the
works ;-)

IIRC, STYLES were missing quite a while, but this may have changed
meanwhile?

I would be happy to know that MapServer is now fully supporting
WMS 1.1. However, the excellence of MapServer is not dominated
by the fact of "WMS compatibility". MapServer is stable, fast
and flexible. There are proprietary products out there which
make a big story out of their WMS compliance, but are either
slow, unstable or inflexible.
WMS compliance should be one item on the feature list on the MapServer
homepage though :-)

BTW, are also some (or even all) WMS 1.1 optional features supported
by MapServer?

All the best

	Jan
