Hi Jaume,
I have the same question of Luca too.
As Luca showed, http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0? cannot be added as
WMS layer to a view because its mapfile doesn't contain some mandatory
metadata and other parameters. Although, in other GIS clients, such as
Quantum GIS and Openlayers, it works fine.
We are wondering if gvSIG WMS implementation requires necessarily all WMS
parameters in a mapfile. It was not clear why in other clients it is
possible to load the Metacarta WMS and in gvSIG not. Is this a
malfunctioning of gvSIG or of the other before mentioned clients?

Best regards,
Antonio
