Ah, good to know. We've actually implemented this in GeoMesa[1], using the 
Geodetic calculator (so it also works in GeoMesa stores, in addition to Postgis 
and Oracle). Is that something people would be interested in porting over to 
GeoTools/GeoServer? There's an optimized check for very close and far points 
that probably only works with EPSG:4326, but maybe could be generalized some 
(or removed). I'd be happy to rewrite it in Java if it's useful.

Thanks,

Emilio

Hi Emilio,
almost correct, the unit conversion is implemented only in selected data 
stores, e.g. posgis and oracle,
while all other stores are unable to deal with differences in units.
The same goes for distances in km with units in degrees, that works I believe 
only with postgis when using
the geography data type.

It's been like that for the past 20 years... nobody steps up to do it. It's too 
large of a task to perform in spare time,
and those that may sponsor are typically using postgis and oracle already.

Cheers
Andrea

Subject: -EXT-[Geoserver-users] Conversion meters to kilometers or feet in 
DWithin filtering

I have used the WMS service with the CQL filter in GeoServer. Currently, I want 
to use the "DWithin" spatial operators to filter features by default GeoServer 
data ("sf:archsites" layer). I specifically need to filter a specific point 
(593250, 4923867) using a radius of 10,000 meters.
I want to substitute meters with something like kilometers.

The issue is that these two commands should produce the same results in the 
output, however in geoserver, it doesn't work this way. Why?

Here are the CQL filter codes:
- CQL_FILTER=DWithin(the_geom,Point(593250 4923867),10000,meters)
- CQL_FILTER=DWithin(the_geom,Point(593250 4923867),10,kilometers)

Regards
