problem with FeatureLayer.queryFeatures() the query parameter looks to be ignored

[JeroenWisse]

Hi All,

I have a problem with the queryFeatures() method of the featureLayer.
First of all i am using flex api 2.5

The relevant code is:

            var points:Array = [];             var tol:Number = Settings.Instance.Tolerance * mainMap.extent.width / mainMap.width / 2;             var x:Number = event.mapPoint.x;             var y:Number = event.mapPoint.y;              var numPoints:int = 25;             for (var i:int = 0; i < numPoints + 1; i++) // Add 1 extra point (last should equal first)             {                 var p:MapPoint = new MapPoint(x - tol * (Math.sin(i / numPoints * 2 * Math.PI)), y + tol * Math.cos(i / numPoints * 2 * Math.PI), mainMap.spatialReference);                 points.push(p);             }              var q:Query = new Query();             q.geometry = new Polygon([ points ], mainMap.spatialReference);             q.returnGeometry = false;             q.outFields = [ fl.layerDetails.objectIdField];              var fl:FeatureLayer = Utils.featureLayerByName(mainMap, layerDef.layerName);//it's not null so it can find the featureLayer             fl.addEventListener(FeatureLayerEvent.QUERY_FEATURES_COMPLETE, featureLayerQueryComplete);             fl.queryFeatures(q, null);

The query works and i get the results i need but the problem is that the outfield and return geometry is ignored.
So i get back all the fields from the query and it always gives back the geometry.

The request that is being sent is:

As you can see the result is that all fields are being returned.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

[IvanBespalov · Accepted solution]

The request that is being sent is: 

/ArcGIS/rest/services/chs/MapServer/35/query?f=json&geometryType=esriGeometryPolygon&  outFields=*&geometry={...}&  returnGeometry=true&inSR=28992&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&outSR=28992

As i see

• outFields=* - all fields


• returnGeometry=true

from API reference for queryFeatures() method

Query features from the feature layer. Current layer properties (layer definition, time definition) will be honored and passed into the query.

as i understand, layer definition = all layer params you set (mode, out fields ...)
if you query through layer (not through QueryTask) you returnGeometry=false is ingored

you need in ID's only?
you can use queryIds() method - returns only objectIdField values

Thanks for your help.

I have it fixed now by setting the display fields of the featureLayer in stead of the query.

I know i can use the queryIDs() function if i only need the objectid's but i need more.
Anyway it works now thanks again
