WFS problem with Filter accepting by MapServer

[Diatchkov Vitali]

Hello!

The MapServer 4.8.* that we use as a WFS server has some problems with
GeoTools WFSDataStore at the client side. The Filter being produced by
GeoTool library looks like:

========================
<Filter><BBOX><PropertyName>msGeometry</PropertyName><Box><coordinates
decimal="." cs="," ts=" ">3669974.159827543,7034913.012544877
3670967.818494744,7035739.51367928</coordinates></Box></BBOX></Filter>
========================

and I suppose it conforms to GML2. But MapServer does not handle attributes
in<coordinates> tag: decimal, cs, ts. If these attributes are encoded in the
filter XML then MapServer returns an exception that Filter is invalid or not
supported.

The following filter work fine:
========================
<Filter><BBOX><PropertyName>msGeometry</PropertyName><Box><coordinates>
3669974.159827543,7034913.012544877
3670967.818494744,7035739.51367928</coordinates></Box></BBOX></Filter>
========================

Is it possible to fix the issue? Sure, it is a problem of MapServer not of
GeoTools library because these attributes are part of spec. And the
combination GeoTools + MapServer is quite widespread.


We would like to see this problem to be fixed, don't know what is the
situation in the following versions of MapServer..
