Preview FeatureSource depends on Aggregates

Description (last modified by brucedechant)

The FeatureSource Preview has been updated to use the actual contents of the datasource for determining the preview extent. This is optimal for most FeatureSources, but some providers (like the OGR provider) does not support the requested aggregates.

There should be a fallback method to use the spatial extent from the spatial context, if the aggregate function fails, as that is better than no preview at all (and actually correct for the OGR provider).

There is code for the failback method still there.

I tried using the OGR provider to connect to a SHP file (Sample World Countries) and I get back a useless SpatialContext. Here are the results:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <FdoSpatialContextList> <ProviderName></ProviderName> </FdoSpatialContextList>

In the above the provider isn't even listed. The interesting thing is that I can use the feature source preview to see the attribute data just fine. So at least the OGR provider appears to be partially working, but there looks to be a bug in the OGR provider for returning spatial context information.

So even if the SelectAggregates call fails there is no spatial context information to fall back on and so the preview still fails.

Odd results, I tried it on a .TAB file, and got back a result (see below).

I see the fallback in showgeom.php, but it does not work because the operation throws an exception. I will attach a patch.

With the attached patch applied, the preview works correctly for me.
