GeoServer should double check all filter contents in GetFeature and Transaction and report back meaningful error messages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2283
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2283
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Task
Components: WFS
Affects Versions: 1.7.0-RC4
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Fix For: 1.7.1
Looking at GEOS-1673 you can find an example of an atrocious error message that is the result of missing checks plus an invalid filter that compares an int attribute with a string.
The same checks that are performed in GetFeature should be performed in the Transaction elements that take a filter, and a check that makes sure filter values are compatible with the attribute types should be added.
Two questions remain:
* where is the best place to store such a validation utility method? Or shall we just create a few visitors and call them all replicating just the calls?
* is the proper behaviour to complain when a user sets a filter like {{intAttribute = blabla}} or shall we just transform it into a Filter.EXCLUDE and log the transformation with a warning?
