Hi all,

I'm interested in running one query which would return a list of ids or attributes that I could look up quickly against another layer.

The cross-layer filtering[1] is getting me close, but not quite there, and I wanted to ask for any suggestions that I'm missing.

To look up a one-off, I can do something like this with 'querySingle'

idAttribute = querySingle('layer', 'idAttribute', /filter/)

Unfortunately, trying to do the same with 'queryCollection' does not work.  One would want something like...

idAttribute = queryCollection('layer', 'idAttribute', /filter/) or
in(idAttribute, queryCollection('layer', 'idAttribute', /filter/)) to work.

I tried 'inArray', but that didn't quite do what I wanted.

First, am I missing an obvious solution?

Second, assuming that I'm not and need to write some code...  How do the querySingle/queryCollection filters get evaluated?  Are they being evaluated by the GT SimplifyingFilterVisitor?  If so, could I gin up an 'inCollection' function which would evaluate inCollection(attribute, evaluatedQueryCollection) in an InFilter object?

Thanks in advance,

Jim
