[mapguide-internals] MapTips fail when properties have nullvalues?

[Traian Stanev]

I would say it's a bug in the expression evaluation code. Using empty
string would likely work around the problem.

I can't say that I have much insight into why this is happening.

This does mirror expected functionality in most DBMS systems, so it's
not necessarily a bad thing, but these systems also provide functions to
work around the null values, such as NVL, ISNULL, etc...

Hi all ... I filed this as an issue in Trac but I haven't seen any
comments on it :) Maptips fail to appear when the expression references
a property that is null for the current feature. Another feature that
does not have null values in the properties will produce a map tip.

Is this behaviour by design or a potential bug? Is there a way to work
around null values in the data by replacing them with an empty string?


Trac ticket is:

I'm not looking for resolution, just a quick answer on whether this is
by design, a potential bug, or a configuration problem.

Cheers

Paul
