[Community] [mapserver]: layerObj.setFilter() on a Shapefile backed WMS layer

[James Mills]

Hi all,

Hoping someone with experience with mapserver + mapscript and can help me
solve this.
Here's the question I posted over at:
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/79844/mapserver-layer-filtering-with-layerobj-setfilter

I'll repeat here for accessibility:

Basically I'm trying to call layerObj.setFilter() on a Shapefile backed WMS
layer. e.g:

layerObj = mapscript.layerObj(map)
layerObj.setFilter("id = 1")

Problem is this doesn't seem to have any effect on the resulting tile(s).
It's as if it wasn't filtered at all.

I've tried this directly on the mapfile as well by setting:

FILTER "id = 1"

But same result (no effect).

Thanks in advance!

cheers
James
