Description

WFS 1.0.0 Client requests made from QGIS 2.8.1 will fail against Geoserver (tested on 2.7.1) if the request contains a Filter that uses geometries.

From the WFS log console:

DescribeFeatureType failed for url http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ows?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=xxxx:yyyy&SRSNAME=EPSG:4326&FILTER=<ogc:Filter xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc">
             <ogc:Intersects>
              <ogc:PropertyName>geometry</ogc:PropertyName>
              <gml:Point>
               <gml:coordinates cs="," ts=" ">-91.5,34.5</gml:coordinates>
              </gml:Point>
             </ogc:Intersects>
            </ogc:Filter>

Note that the Filter's opening XML tag includes the "ogc" namespace, but it never defines the "gml" namespace.

My naive attempt at debugging: I see that geometryFromGML is overloaded in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/core/qgsogcutils.cpp. Only one of them contains logic to set the "gml" namespace, and I suspect that the qgswfsprovider.cpp might be invoking the wrong one.

History

#1 Updated by Jeff G over 9 years ago

For context, in the above case, I had used the expression string builder to issue the filter:
intersects($geometry, geomFromWKT('POINT(-91.5 34.5)'))

The geoserver-side error is:
org.geoserver.platform.ServiceException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Attempted to construct illegal filter - I dont understand the tag: gml:Point. HINT: tags are case-sensitive!

Hello, bug triage...

this is also true for an attribute filter (tested on QGIS 2.13 master):

DescribeFeatureType failed for url http://geoservices.brgm.fr/geologie?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=MINES_EMP&SRSNAME=EPSG:4326&FILTER=<ogc:Filter xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc">
             <ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>
              <ogc:PropertyName>substance</ogc:PropertyName>
              <ogc:Literal>Pb</ogc:Literal>
             </ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>
            </ogc:Filter>

This must be re-tested with qgis 2.18.*/master as the wfs client has been overhalued meanwhile.

Can anyone advice about the necessary steps to try replicate this issue?

Now using QGIS 2.18.4, I have tried both the "intersects" and the "attribute" test cases mentioned earlier in this issue, and they both work as expected.

This appears to be fixed. Thank you!
