layerObj.queryByAttributes changed with Oracle

[Benedikt Rothe]

Hello List

I'm using Mapserer with Oracle/Java-Mapscript and migrating my app from 
Mapserver 4.x to Mapserer 5.x
and have a problem with layerObj.queryByAttributes.

I used to query features with code like this:
  alayerObj.queryByAttributes(aMapObj, "ID", "ID=4711", mapscript.
MS_SINGLE);
In Mapserver 5 this code  results in an Mapserver-Error-Message stating, 
that the "SQL command is not properly ended".

The Mapserver-generated SQL-Command includes a Where-Clause of the form 
"ID = ID = 4711".

I had a look in maporaclespatial.c function "osFilteritem".
Follwing code seems to produce this Where-Clause:
 if (layer->filteritem != NULL)
 {
   sprintf (query_str + strlen(query_str), " %s = ", layer->filteritem);
   //snprintf (query_str + strlen(query_str), " %s = ", 
layer->filteritem);
 }

Changing my Java-Code to 
  alayerObj.queryByAttributes(aMapObj, "ID", "4711", mapscript.MS_SINGLE);
solves the problem.

Questions:
* Is this a bug in Mapserver or a new feature? 
* Is this really a change in Mapserver 5.0?
* Shall I rather change my Java-Code or shall I patch Mapserver/ 
maporaclespatial.c/osFilteritem?
   Would the changed Java-Code work with the Oracle-driver only?
