WFS filter query

[N Zhou]

Hi Bart,

Thank you for your email.

The only difference between your example and mine is "PropertyName" under
the <ogc:BBOX>. I think "PropertyName" is optional to specify returned
elements. Does "<PropertyName>MS_GEOMETRY</PropertyName>" mean that spatial
BBOX query should use the column "MS_GEOMETRY"? I use .shp files.

Should I change my map file (or mapserver, which works for non Filter
requests) to support the Filter and/or BBOX query? When I use the URL
request:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv_44.exe?map=mymapfile&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=myType&FILTER=<Filter><Within><gml:Box><gml><coordinates>0,0
600000,600000</gml:coordinates></gml:Box></Within></Filter>

the mapserver told me this:
msWFSGetFeature(): WFS server error. Invalid or Unsupported FILTER in
GetFeature

Thank you!

N. Zhou
