Question

Comparison of WMS and WFS services

I am trying to overlay WFS over WMS and still not successful. So wanted to know when and why would someone use WFS?

I need to extract the info from the WFS layer that I am trying to overlay onto the WMS. If yes how?

There is an existing comparison of WMS and WFS at http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/8348/comparison-of-wms-and-wfs-services — PolyGeo, May 15 '12 at 23:29

There is an existing comparison of WMS and WFS available in Stack Exchange GIS already.
