Thanks, Julian!

Your comments helped a lot. With this, the problem is reduced to the &BBOX not working in WFS 2.0.0. I went back to OGC documentation and started out with a query from the documentation - and it works. It turns out that the problem is &BBOX in combination with &outputFormat=application/json. Either on its own works fine and as expected. Both combined in the query result in a java runtime exception "Unable to evaluate template path against the template".

Hi,

You are mixing parameters between different versions of OGC protocols, and this is causing at least some of your issues.

  * &maxfeatures is a WFS version 1.x parameter. It should not do
    anything in a WMS request. For WFS 2.0.0, the corresponding
    parameter is called &count.
  * &filter is technically only a WFS-parameter, so for it to work in
    WMS is a non-standard feature in GeoServer.

Geoserver 2.24 and 2.21 snapshot with module app-schema and community modules features templating, ogcapi-features (all from same build date)

Hello,

I have set up a seemingly functional layer with features templating. However, I encounter a rather odd behaviour when I try to include filters in the query URLs. Here is a summary (I paste examples below):

WMS 1.3 requests: Simple GetMap request works. &maxFeatures works. CQL-filters do not work. OGC-filters on attributes work. Spatial OGC-filter returns an empty map.

WFS 2.0.0 query: Simple Get Feature query works. &maxFeatures has no effect. &bbox returns an error. CQL filters do not work. OGC-filters on attributes work. Spatial OGC-filter returns error.

No spatial filtering at all, no CQL filters, only OGC filters on attributes work. This limits the usefulness of WMS, and WFS is almost completely useless. I guess that something is wrong, but do not even know where to start looking for the problem, assuming that there is a common underlying problem. The log entries are very peculiar - not much with CQL-filter errors. On the other hand, extensive warnings that the OGC-filter - which actually works - could not be parsed. java.lang.RuntimeException on the spatial filter errors (java.lang.NullPointerException on OGC filter; Unable to evaluate template path against the template on bbox).

The main issue is that spatial filtering is not working (either no effect or returns error) while all features are displayed in the correct locations in a basic WMS map. Very peculiar is also that basic limitations like maxFeatures do not work, as it has nothing to do with the actual content. Any ideas on how to proceed with troubleshooting are very much appreciated.

Thank you and best wishes,

Henning

Below the tested queries with short comments:

WMS 1.3:

Requesting a map without any additional parameters works as expected:
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/jpeg <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/jpeg>

maxFeatures works:
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&maxFeatures=5&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/jpeg <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&maxFeatures=5&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/jpeg>

CQL-filter on an attribute does not work (displays map with all features, unfiltered, as without filter): http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&CQL-FILTER=surveyname='1998'&format=image/jpeg <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&CQL-FILTER=surveyname='1998'&format=image/jpeg>

OGC-filter on an attribute works as expected:
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&FILTER= <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&FILTER=><Filter xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"; <http://www.opengis.net/ogc> xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"; <http://www.opengis.net/gml>><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>surveyname</PropertyName><Literal>1998</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></Filter>&format=image/jpeg

OGC spatial filter returns empty map (tested with both latlon and lonlat, as the order of coordinates in different formats/standards (and their combination) always appears to be a mess to me) http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&FILTER= <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&bbox=62,21,65,26&width=700&height=600&srs=EPSG:4326&FILTER=><Filter xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"; <http://www.opengis.net/ogc> xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"; <http://www.opengis.net/gml>><Contains><PropertyName>geometry</PropertyName><gml:Polygon><gml:exterior><gml:LinearRing><gml:posList>24 62 26 62 26 65 24 65 24 62</gml:posList></gml:LinearRing></gml:exterior></gml:Polygon></Contains></Filter>&format=image/jpeg

WFS 2.0:

Query for all features works as expected:
localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/ows?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&outputFormat=application/json

maxFeatures does not work, the query returns all features:
localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/ows?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&maxFeatures=10&outputFormat=application/json

Spatial filtering the query by a CQL-BBOX does not work, it returns all features:
localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/ows?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&CQL-FILTER=BBOX(62,21,65,26)&outputFormat=application/json

Spatial filtering the query with an OGC BOX or Contains returns <ows:Exception exceptionCode="NoApplicableCode"></ows:Exception> (java.lang.NullPointerException): localhost:8080/geoserver/eposgo/ows?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=eposgo:MagnetotelluricStationsFeature&FILTER=<Filter xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"; <http://www.opengis.net/ogc> xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"; <http://www.opengis.net/gml>><BBOX><PropertyName>geometry</PropertyName><gml:coord><gml:X>21</gml:X><gml:Y>62</gml:Y></gml:coord><gml:coord><gml:X>26</gml:X><gml:Y>65</gml:Y></gml:coord></gml:Box></BBOX></Filter>&outputFormat=application/json
