wfs attribute filtering

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Huub,

1: add gml_include_items "all" to your LAYER's METADATA section
2: I don't expect this to work with variable subsitution
3: You can set the wfs_filter METADATA with Mapscript, I don't think you can do this with normal CGI

Best regards,
Bart

Hi List

I'm happily getting images from a wfs_filtered WFS client layer from my 
map-WFS-server and i was accumulating the following questions.

1. Why are there no attributes in the response to

 http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv/bin/mapserv.exe?map=mapserv/bin/chameleon.map&version=1.0.0&service=wfs&request=getfeature&typename=park 
 http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv/bin/mapserv.exe?map=mapserv/bin/chameleon.map&version=1.0.0&service=wfs&request=getfeature&typename=park&Filter=<Filter><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>PARK_</PropertyName><Literal>10</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></Filter>

2. I'm trying variable substitution in the to <ogc:filter/> but the 
expression % + variable + % is  interpreted litterally

 http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv/bin/mapserv.exe?map=mapserv/bin/wfs_park.map&PARK_=10&service=wms&request=getmap&version=1.1.1&layers=wfs_park&styles=&srs=EPSG:42304&bbox=-2600000,-700000,3500000,3840000&width=610&height=450&format=png&transparent=true&exceptions=text/xml&bgcolor=0xffffff 

3. How can I  filter dynamically?

Regards, Huub
