This example shows WPS in action by using the WPSCapabilities,
WPSDescribeProcess and WPSExecute formats. See
wps.js for the
source code. Note: For applications using WPS, the high level
approach shown in the wps-client example
is recommended instead.
- Select a process from the list below the map. The list is
populated with the result of a WPS GetCapabilities request, parsed
using
OpenLayers.Format.WPSCapabilities::read.
- Fill out the Input form. Hover over fields to get a description.
Required fields are marked with a "*".
To use a geometry from the map as input, select the geometry on the
map (using the pen symbol on the left of the toolbar) and just
click the field. The form is generated from the object returned by
OpenLayers.Format.WPSDescribeProcess::read
- Click "Execute" and examine the result in the result text area.
If the result can be parsed as features, it will be displayed on
the map as well. The process data is sent to the server with the
serialized XML from
OpenLayers.Format.WPSExecute::write,
which can use a modified
OpenLayers.Format.WPSDescribeProcess result object as
input.
