Hi all,
I just finished committing changes that allow CQL filters to be used.
The release configuration contains sample calls for both WFS and WMS.
In the end, I did use the CQL_FILTER keyword. Rationale: WFS already
has three types of filters, BBOX, FEATUREID and full fledged FILTER.
If the protocol design was made to extensible, they would have
used only a FILTERLANGUAGE with values [BBOX, FEATUREID and, say, FULL]
and single FILTER parameter whose interpretation was language dependent.
I'm going to add some documentation too.
Oh, for those trying to use multiple OGC filters in WMS requests, the
separator is back to being ( and ), the same as the WFS protocol (in
fact, the code is shared on 1.5.x, thought I cannot say the same for
trunk, where WFS uses the new parameter parser, and WMS still the old one).
Cheers
Andrea
