[Geotools-gt2-users] Current date in CQL query?

[Shaun F. <for...@gm...>]

Hey,

Wondering if/how it's possible to use the current date/time in a CQL query.

For example is it possible in GT to create a filter string that will grab
the features that were updated in the past 24 hours, without dynamically
creating the filter string each time which includes the current date/time (I
need the filter as a configuration item).

If it's not currently there any pointers on how/where I can hook in and add
it myself would be appreciated.

At the moment it looks like I may need to write a wrapper around the CQL
compiler to parse the filter string myself and replace sysdate() (or
something similar) with a string representing the current date, but if it's
already there or I can plugin to the compiler directly that'd be better
(since I'd rather use a Date object than worry that I have the correct date
format for my string).

Cheers,
Shaun
