Geometry in Filter WFS not supported

albertvalls — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 09:22:49 GMT

I'm trying to make a getFeatures query with one of the geometries supported by AGS, like it's said in:

    http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisserver/9.3.1/Java/index.htm#wfs_service.htm

My query to the WFS with a this filter:

<ogc:Filter xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml">
<ogc:Intersects>
    <ogc:PropertyName>Shape</ogc:PropertyName>
    <gml:MultiSurface>
      <gml:surfaceMember>
        <gml:Polygon>
          <gml:exterior>
            <gml:LinearRing>
              <gml:posList>400101.9811312 4568752.4370499 401901.14682631 4568077.7499143 400697.29330973 4567336.916981 400101.9811312 4568752.4370499</gml:posList>
            </gml:LinearRing>
          </gml:exterior>
        </gml:Polygon>
      </gml:surfaceMember>
      <gml:surfaceMember>
        <gml:Polygon>
          <gml:exterior>
            <gml:LinearRing>
              <gml:posList>401940.83430488 4569599.1032594 402866.87547149 4569903.3739284 402866.87547149 4568831.8120071 401940.83430488 4569599.1032594</gml:posList>
            </gml:LinearRing>
          </gml:exterior>
        </gml:Polygon>
      </gml:surfaceMember>
    </gml:MultiSurface>
</ogc:Intersects>
</ogc:Filter>

And the response:

   <ows:ExceptionReport version='1.1.0' language='en' xmlns:ows='http://www.opengis.net/ows'>   <ows:Exception exceptionCode='InvalidParameterValue'><ows:ExceptionText>The spatial operation is invalid (Unsupported geometry type: MultiSurface).</ows:ExceptionText></ows:Exception></ows:ExceptionReport>

After that, I've seen that the capabilities tells that the supported filter geometries are:

<ogc:GeometryOperands><ogc:GeometryOperand>gml:Envelope</ogc:GeometryOperand><ogc:GeometryOperand>gml:Point</ogc:GeometryOperand><ogc:GeometryOperand>gml:Polygon</ogc:GeometryOperand><ogc:GeometryOperand>gml:LineString</ogc:GeometryOperand></ogc:GeometryOperands>

So, I am doing something wrong or the documentation is wrong when it says that MultiPoint, MultiCurve and MultiSurface are supported ???

Someone has been able to use them?

thanks,
albert

I'm using Arcgis server 9.3.1 with SP2.

This is the response from esri spain....

To sum up: the web help is wrong, and it's only supported in new version 10.1.

-------------------------

Lamentamos informarle de que el comportamiento descrito obedece a una limitación reconocida del software que ha sido clasificada como

NIM059020: MultiSurface is included in the WFS Services supported filters list in Web Help when it is actually not supported.

Las geometrías soportadas por ESRI para la implementación OGC del �??Filter�?? son Envelope, Point, MultiPoint, LineString, Polygon, y Box. Box está soportada solo para el GML 2.1.2.

Por otra parte, nos complace informarle de que está limitación ha sido subsanada en la versión 10.1 del software.

Atentamente,
