You don't know what you don't know. What I know: From a tomcat training video Web SITE Web SERVICE Web SOCKET Site - formatting Service - data Socket - idk. Something to do with JavaScript, AJAX and chat rooms So a Web mapping/feature service shares maps/features where a wms client like openlayers or leaflet does formatting. Database ->WMS/WFS -> OpenLayers = website Is my above reasoning correct? Is that what a WMS/WFS MapServer is? What am I missing from this big picture model? Sorry for noob questions. But I when I explain things to my supervisor I want to get things right. Thanks!
