Vector Layer with WFS protocol

is it a must to use BBOX strategy with WFS protocol in Vector layers ?

I cannot display this layer without BBOX strategy:

vLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Test", { 

    styleMap: new OpenLayers.StyleMap({ 
        "default": style 
    }), 
      maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-180, -90, 180, 90).transform(geographic,mercator), 
      sphericalMercator: true,   
      protocol:  new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({   
      url: 'http://myDomain/geoserver/wfs', 
      featureType: "Layer_1",   
      featureNS: "http://mapmap.org", 
      srsName: "EPSG:3857", 
      version: "1.1.0", 
      extractAttributes: true, 
      isBaseLayer: false, 

        }) 
      });

I am not getting any request in firebug.

What am I missing here ?

Solution

  • Have you tried the OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed? That should request your data once and will not do anything on a change of either zoom or bounds.

    BTW: You have a dangling-comma error (isBaseLayer: false,) but that is most probably not too relevant.
