I am trying to get my WFS server to return a filtered set of results (to avoid browser overload). I had previously been sending a FILTER param in the url - but now this is breaking because of the fact BBOX and FILTER are mutually exclusive (tickets #1430 and #1113). I attempted the patch in #1430 but it did not seem to work for me.
I have been attempting to instead use the Openlayers.Filters - but it is just returning the whole of the WFS dataset (unfiltered). I was under the impression that you could use an Openlayers Filter to filter the data (as well as apply a style). Having checked the documentation it looks like only a GeoJSON layer has the option of adding a filter - is this true and if so is there any plans to include this v. useful functionality in the WFS layer? Alternatively are there any plans to fix the FILTER/BBOX error? Many thanks Stuart Code Snippets: function getDefaultStyle(sld, layerName) { > var styles = sld.namedLayers[layerName].userStyles; > var style; > for (var i=0; i<styles.length; ++i){ > style = styles[i]; > if(style.isDefault) { > break; > } > } > > var rule = new OpenLayers.Rule({ > filter: new OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison( > { > type: OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison.EQUAL_TO, > property: "ark_id", > value: "CH05SR_536",} > ) > }); > style.addRules(rule); > return style; > } > > style_cxt_schm = getDefaultStyle(sld,"cxt_schm"); > var cxt_schm = new > OpenLayers.Layer.WFS(cxt_schm,'php/map/ark_wxs_server.php?TYPENAME=cxt_schm',{}, > {styleMap: new OpenLayers.StyleMap({"default":style_cxt_schm})}); > map.addLayers([cxt_schm]); > >
