I need to filter an OpenLayers layer using a CQL filter to an specific Bounding Box. Is it possible?

Something like this isn't working:

igh > 5000 AND bbox(igh,20786691,22051867,-305577260,-306370356)

Thanks!

Which mapserver are you running/requesting maps from?

According to Geoserver CQL Tutorial:

CQL provides a full set of geometric filter capabilities. Say, for example, you want to display only the states that do cross the (-90,40,-60,45) bounding box. The filter will be BBOX(the_geom, -90, 40, -60, 45)

Thanks for your response underdark. It's GeoServer 2.0.2 – Fran Verona Jan 30 '11 at 15:48
Isn't 'igh' some random attribute and not the geometry? – underdark♦ Jan 30 '11 at 16:46
'igh' is just a variable associated to the maps – Fran Verona Jan 30 '11 at 16:51

Do you use PostGIS as a data source for that layer? Does the geometry column have a different name there? – underdark♦ Jan 31 '11 at 12:52

I asked to my technical OGC this morning, and he told me that 'the_geom' is called 'location'. Using it instead of 'the_geom' now works. Thanks underdark! Problem solved – Fran Verona Feb 2 '11 at 19:13
