Hi,

The other day I stepped in to this too and I discovered that we can access 
chained features by using '.' instead of '/'.
This is directly supported by the CQL grammar that will convert the CQL 
expression to a XPATH expression.

Using the GSML app-schema tutorial, this CQL filter on complex features will 
work:

gsml:MappedFeature.gml:name = 'Some basalt' AND 
gsml:MappedFeature.gsml:observationMethod.gsml:CGI_TermValue.gsml:value = 
'urn:ogc:def:nil:OGC:missing'

Cheers,

Nuno Oliveira

Gavin,

filter complex features by referencing xpath properties in the output. The 
client never needs to know about the source tables. app-schema converts the 
client filter into filters against the source tables, or efficient SQL join 
queries if joining is used.

The cql_filter vendor parameter works fine for top-level properties like gml:name but I can find no 
way of encoding xpaths because "/" and "@" are invalid and not recognised as 
part of the property selector. In these cases you should be able to use filter (OGC Filter XML) 
rather than cql_filter.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi all,

How would one use a CQL_Filter parameter in a WFS request to filter the
results given by an app schema mapped complex feature using feature
chaining. The way I understand it, CQL_Filter operates using a WHERE
statement in a CQL query but how does that work when each (linked) mapping
file may be accessing a different table? Does the filter get applied to the
top level mapping file? I haven't been able to make it work at all. Perhaps
I'm totally misunderstanding it though.
