WFS server and some donut polygons

[tokr@…]

Sended by B. Tyler Wilson (17 Jun 2004) TO Mapserver-dev conference.

I've discovered a problem with serving up certain donut polygons through a
WFS getFeature request.  For most donut polygons, the data is served up
correctly.  The polygon is described as a <gml:Polygon> with
associated <gml:outerBoundaryIs> and <gml:innerBoundaryIs> elements.  However,
if the centroid of the donut polygon falls within the hole of the donut, the
polygon is described as an empty <gml:MultiPolygon>. The particular problem that
I'm having is with Bedford County, VA in the 2000 County Boundaries file
downloaded from the National Atlas. I'm using the DM Solutions Windows binary of
Mapserver, version 4.0.2. The data are Shapefiles.

Comment: It still doesn't work in 4.2.1 version.

Do you have a small dataset+mapfile that reproduces this?

We still need a tes file for this.

Tomas, I am setting this to future relase and not 4.4 since we are trying to
correct all bugs in the next days. 
You can set me the data when you come back and It will be corrected for futrue
relases.

Closing this. Please reopen if the problem is still there and a test data is available.
