[Geotools-devel] INCLUDE and EXCLUDE patch for ECQL

[Jody G. <jod...@gm...>]

Just a heads up. 

There is a nice small patch here (https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4110) that changes how ECQL *output* behaves.

Previous:

ECQL.toCQL( Filter.INCLUDE ) ---> "1=1" 
ECQL.toCQL( Filter.EXCLUDE ) ---> "1=0"



After the patch:

ECQL.toCQL( Filter.INCLUDE ) ---> "INCLUDE"
ECQL.toCQL( Filter.EXCLUDE ) ---> "EXCLUDE"


The ECQL parser is already able to handle parsing these tokens.


Now here is the interesting part - what will the effects of this change be on downstream code?

My understanding is that GeoServer spends a lot of time Parsing ECQL - so that should not be effected.

Is there any other consequence to this change that can be imagined?
