Filtering attributes in WFS?

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi Jeff,

in WFS it's possible, but Mapserver does not support it client-side, see 
for details:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=675

If you have some funding, it could finally be added though.

Alternatively, you can however set this server-side, look at 
gml_exclude_items in the WFS server howto. Also, if you want to exclude 
the geometry, in the 4.10 version you should be able to use:

  GML_GEOMETRIES "none"


Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Bart
