[mapserver-users] querying a WFS on property alias

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Bart,

  We have gone through the same issue when implementing the SOS and the 
solution was to pre-parse the filter and replace the occurrences of the 
aliased by the real attribute name.

  I will move the function so that it does the same for the wfs filter 
encoding. Will let you know after I do few tests.

Best Regards,
