[Geoserver-users] Label Priority and non-Integer fields

Hi List,
Trying to confirm desired behaviour.

I was trying to use the Priority labelling feature (http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld-reference/labeling.html#priority-labeling )

I have two polygons that overlap and want the label for one to take precedence over the other, so this seemed like the logical choice.

But it didn’t work for any of my fields. Turns out, it only appears to work for INTEGER fields. I tried Double, BigDecimal, Date, and even String (ending in an int). None worked. It was only by rounding a BigDecimal that I managed to get Priority to work.

Is this expected behaviour? It’s not documented as such.

Cheers,
Jonathan
