[Chameleon] Query Widget and WMS layers added via WMSBrowser widget

[Ken Sanderson]

Thanks for the reply Paul, did what you suggested and I think I found 
the problem.

The WMS Browser is setting the type of the WMS layer, atleast in the 
cases I have tried, to RASTER. If I manually edit the latest MAP file in 
the sessions folder and change that to POLYGON then the identify on the 
WMS layer works properly.

I tried several different WMS servers and different layers, along with 
polygon and line features and every time the WMS Browser is setting

TYPE RASTER

Is there something I can change to make the WMS Browser set the 
appropriate type of layer instead of just RASTER?

Thanks,

Ken
