wfs bbox: make the use of BBOX paramter on a WFS layer configurable

[thijsbrentjens]

The BBOX parameter is always used for a WFS layer (in the moveTo function). For some case one wants to not use this parameter. For example to get all features or when a filter is provided in the FILTER-param. (BBOX and FILTER are mutually exclusive).

See  http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1113 as well.

Patch will be attached.

Simple example:

// the layer with the useBbox option var wfsLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS(

'The Layer name', ' http://www.somewfs.org/wfs', {typename: 'ns:FEATURETYPENAME'}, {

typename: 'FEATURETYPENAME', featureNS: ' http://www.somewfs.org/', useBbox: false

}

)

// adding a filter to the layer wfsLayer.params.FILTER=

'<ogc:Filter xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc">'+ '<ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>' + '<ogc:PropertyName>ns:PROPERTYNAME</ogc:PropertyName>'+ '<ogc:Literal>a value</ogc:Literal>' + '</ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>' + '</ogc:Filter>';

This can be closed since there now is the BBOX and Fixed Strategy which can be used to achieve this.

Sorry to comment on a closed bug, but could you provide a link explaining the BBOX and Fixed Strategy and how this can be used to achieve a WFS layers with a filter. Thank you so much.
