Hi Andrea,

we are only working against vector data here.

Best regards,

    Hi all,

    i have a question regarding the handling of null values in WMS-Time
    requests for the following scenario:

    GeoServer 2.10.2
    Datastore: PostgreSQL 9.5.6/PostGIS 2.2.1

    The requested layer is configured with the following start/end
    attributes in its dimensions tab to support the TIME parameter in
    GetMap
    requests:

    Attribute: start_date
    End Attribute (optional): end_date

    When requesting a GetMap with the TIME value
    "2016-03-19T00:00:00.000Z/2017-03-20T23:59:59.999Z", the GeoServer
    generates the following condition in the WHERE clause:

    WHERE  ("start_date" <= '2017-03-21' AND "start_date" IS NOT NULL  AND
    "end_date" >= '2016-03-19' AND "end_date" IS NOT NULL)


    Problem/Question:

    In the database of our customer, many entries of "end_date" are NULL.
    The semantic of a null value is something like "not yet defined"
    and the
    desired behavior would be to handle these null values as "PRESENT" (or
    something in the future). The problem is that the condition above
    contains "IS NOT NULL", so these entries are never fetched from the
    database (and therefore never rendered on a map). It is not possible
    (for our customer) to change the data (for example to set the null
    values to a value in the far future). So the main question is:

    Is there a way/trick to achieve the described behavior?

    If not: Is it conceivable to write some lines of code to make such a
    behavior configurable in some way (e.g. in the dimensions tab of a
    layer)? Or would this disagree with the standard in some way?

    Best regards,
    Nils
