Description:
Too many questions on the user list about this. I think the key step that people miss is the BBOX, and how to get the right params for that. It's not too hard to do, just do a getFeatures in the WFS (as long as the dataset is not too large). But that's not well documented anywhere. So we need a walk through example, with screen shots and whatnot would be ideal, of how to add a new shapefile, get the gml and get the real image of the dataset.
