Andrea,

Thanks for mentioning the PropertyAccessors! I had seen them, but I hadn't had a chance to figure them out.

With context and reading through now, they make a great deal of sense. It seems like with an hour or two and dependencies on gt-api and gt-cql, one could wire up CQL filtering to a custom classes. Neat.

Do folks think this should be documented? I'm mildly amused by this since I've mucked with CQL a bit.

Thanks,

Jim

    Any further thoughts you may have on this are much appreciated,


Here is another option to consider.
CQL parses to Filter, which in turn evaluates an Object, not a Feature.
So how do we evaluate properies against a random object? Using property accessors,
which can be registered in SPI:

http://docs.geotools.org/latest/javadocs/org/geotools/filter/expression/PropertyAccessor.html

So you could write your own property accessor that knows how to extract the properties out of
your objects, instead of converting them to simple features.

I don't think we have docs on how to write an accessor (this is kind of advanced stuff, Jody please correct me if I'm wrong) but have a look at PropertyAccessor sublasses with your IDE, and see how they are getting registered in SPI checking the META-INF/services directory in the same geotools module

Cheers
Andrea
