[mapserver-users] Re: WFS intersect request

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi John,

  Can you try something like :

<Filter><Intersects><PropertyName>Geometry</PropertyName><gml:Polygon><gml:outerBoundaryIs><gml:LinearRing><gml:coordinates>-61.63,45.04 
-60.78,45.04 -60.78,46.08 
-61.63,46.08</gml:coordinates></gml:LinearRing></gml:outerBoundaryIs></gml:Polygon></Intersects></Filter>, 



Polygon, MultiPolygon, MultiSurface, Box, LineString are supported as 
geometries for these operators.
gml:Envelope is not  right now.

Let me know.

best regards,
