Description

Within the QGIS Expression Builder the $geometry parameter does not expand to layer geometry column name when using WFS. The QGIS Expression to OGC filter always use 'geometry' as the name.

example with layer geometry column "is the_geom"

QGIS Expression: "intersects($geometry, geomFromWKT('POINT (5 6)'))"

OGC XML:

<ogc:Filter>
<ogc:Intersects>
<ogc:PropertyName>*geometry*</ogc:PropertyName>
<gml:Point><gml:coordinates cs=\\",\\" ts=\\" \\">5.0,6.0</gml:coordinates></gml:Point>
</ogc:Intersects>
</ogc:Filter>

History

#1 Updated by Jürgen Fischer over 10 years ago

  • Target version changed from Version 2.0.0 to Future Release - Lower Priority

#2 Updated by Even Rouault almost 9 years ago

The issue seems to be resolved in master

I used the following layer :
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=ne:ne_10m_admin_0_countries&SRSNAME=EPSG:4326

and expression :
intersects($geometry, geomFromWKT('POINT (2 49)'))

and it selected France as expected.

The geometry name of this layer is the_geom

#3 Updated by Even Rouault almost 9 years ago

Update: my above comment only applies after adding a WFS layer and using an expression in the table

The issue still exists when adding a filter to a not yet loaded layer.
