I ran into the WFS GetNearest plugin which may do the trick for me. This is a 3 year old document so I am suspecting something has changed but cound not find any reference of GetNearest in current doc.
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/WFS+GetNearest+Plug-in Can I safely follow instructions in above link and install plugin? -----Original Message----- From: Nji, Klaus [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: September 29, 2010 10:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Geoserver-users] FW: Querying WFS for first n features closest to a geometry Say I have point A with coordinates x,y. I will like to get the first n points of interest from a table, say resturants, closest to A in order of increasing distance. I can use the function "distance" to compute distance between A and each restaurant in the restaurant table. However, I cannot yet figure out how to sort computed areas in increasing magnitude and return first n. Any tips and/or tricks on getting this done ?
