Gabriel, thanks for this!
Now I understand the structure within the module much better! I can
understand to create a new unsupported module is much easier that to
refactor an existing one. But from my point of view because of history and
module structure, I would prefer the later.
I'd like to have support for general requests like described in '*How to
create BBOX Filter with FilterFactory2' *without using the DataStore for
editing and transaction. I'd like to contribute to the module! I would
prefer if we could apply changes for the 2.5.x branch and trunk if the
architecture between these hasn't changed too much.
Let's start!
