How to use WFS GetFeature to return data like wmsgetfeatureinfo?

Question

Hello, right now I am working with Openlayers.Control.getfeature using wfs protocol to return attribute when I click one of the features in my map. I know I can use wmsgetfeatureinfo to return attributes but my server administrator disabled access to it's own machine so I cannot access the geoserver using proxy.

Is there some way I can use wfs getfeature to return attributes like wmsgetfeatureinfo?

Here is one of the responses from wfs getfeature

Answer 1

You can use OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.fromWMSLayer(layer) where layer is the wms layer from your geoserver

control = new OpenLayers.Control.GetFeature({
    protocol: OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.fromWMSLayer(layer),
    box: true,
    hover: true,
    multipleKey: "shiftKey",
    toggleKey: "ctrlKey"
});

and add this control to your map. I think You can not show the result as popup. But you can get the feature info and can add to another vector layer. Here is the example
