<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone understand the following comment in the GeoTools MapServerWFSStrategy class:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">/**<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* This strategy addresses a bug in most MapServer implementations where a filter is required in<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* order for all the features to be returned. So if the Filter is Filter.NONE or Query.ALL then a<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* BBox Filter is constructed that is the entire layer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*/<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It doesn’t seem to be a problem with Mapserver 6.x. I can query for all features without a BBOX filter.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Was this a problem in previous versions of Mapserver? I’m hoping to convince the GeoTools team to remove this unnecessary BBOX filter, but I need to understand the history.<o:p></o:p></p>
