[OpenLayers-Users] getFeaturebyId clarification

[runningcodez]

Hello list,

Let me showcase my issue straightaway.
I have a GML layer served from a json file containing lots of features one
of which looks like

{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[{"type":"Feature","id":"property_final.1","geometry":{"type":"MultiPolygon","coordinates":[.....]},"geometry_name":"the_geom","properties":{"Id":76,"Name":"David","Ph_no":234}}


When i try to get this feature using
 layer.getFeatureById('property_final.1') to change its styling,it gives me
null .I feelthat I am trying to do something terribly stupid since
'property_final.1' is seen as 'fid'.If its the case which id should I pass
as a parameter to the funtion getFeatureById()? and how will i get the id
value?

Is there any methodology to get a feature from any property value?

Thanks in advance

Sumith
