[TinyOWS-users] How to point tinyows to an other config file ?

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

What is best is that you can make very simply how many different WFS services you like, with different layers, with or without WFS-T and so on.  Just prepare a bunch of config files and a wrapper per each configuration. It allows also lightweight user right management. No need to filter the contents of a service by user group or roles, just control which wrappers the user can access.

Jukka,

   That looks like a good idea too.

Thanks for the reply,
