[OpenLayers-Users] Re: How to test if a point is within WMS layer?

[Andreas Hocevar]

That's actually a good approach to proceed. I was about to recommend
WPS and the JTS:interects process that GeoServer ships with, but what
you came up with is easier.

Having said that, you only have one small typo that keeps this from
working: it's "filter" (singular), not "filters".
