Hi,

I'm trying to fetch data from the following WFS with a WFS-reader:

http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/bag/wfs?service=wfs&request=GetFeature&typeName=bag:pand&cql_filter=bag:identificatie LIKE '%25158110%25'

When I browse it in IE it works fine, but FME throws me the next error:

<WFS> An Exception Report was produced performing a `GetCapabilities' request
<ows:ExceptionReport xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1" version="2.0.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1 http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/schemas/ows/1.1.0/owsAll.xsd">

  </ows:Exception>
</ows:ExceptionReport>

I think the spaces in de cql-filter are causing problems. What is the right syntax for the WFS with the "like"-command?

Greetings Erwin

You need to URL-encode the CQL clause to get rid of invalid characters, such as spaces, etc. You can use the TextEncoder for this, the result should look something like this:

cql_filter=bag:identificatie%20LIKE%20%27%25158110%25%27

Make sure that you only URL-encode what comes after the equal sign.

Thanx David, but the result is still the same. I changed the WFS-URL into 

http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/bag/wfs?service=wfs&request=GetFeature&typeName=bag:pand&cql_filter=bag:identificatie%20like%20%27%25158110%25%27

But the same error occurs:

url: 'http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl:80/bag/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&cql_filter=bag:identificatie%20like%20'%158110%'&VERSION=2.0.0'

Hello @reijnen,

 

 

I believe the issue with the URL is the ECQL clause. I don't believe FME currently supports ECQL but rather uses the OGC XML Filter. An example of an XML Filter can be found here: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/5017/how-to-use-the-xml-filter-in-the-wfs-reader.html

 

 

If this is functionality you would like to see added to FME, please submit an idea here: https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/list.html

 

 

I hope that helps!

Hi, @reijnen

I have used a cql_filter on a WFS service in the past but not via the reader, but by using the HTTPCaller.

See the HTTPCaller_wplWPL transformer in the FME Hub template here
