[Geoserver-devel] Error REST feature type DELETE after preview layer

Hi list,

I have been using the Geoserver REST API to delete layers and have discovered some unwanted behaviour. I cannot delete a layer (from a shapefile datastore) that has been previewed before. The steps to replicate the behaviour are:

  1. Preview the layer in browser:
    http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms/reflect?format=application/openlayers&layers=cite:LuchtKwaliteitArc&width=512&height=370&format=application/openlayers
  2. Delete the layer
    curl -X DELETE -u user:password "http:/localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/layers/cite:LuchtKwaliteitArc”
  3. Delete the feature type
    curl -X DELETE -u user:password "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/cite/datastores/LuchtKwaliteitArc/featuretypes/LuchtKwaliteitArc”
  4. Delete the store
    curl -X DELETE -u user:password “http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/cite/datastores/LuchtKwaliteitArc”
    On step 3 I get a HTTP 500. It seems that this sneaked up in the 2.4 release, since this behaviour occurs in GS 2.4.5, but not in GS 2.3.5. Did anyone experience the same issue?

Stacktrace GS log: http://pastebin.com/XAy8ykQU

Possibly related bug: [http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6199?jql=text%20~%20"500%20error%20on%20REST%20layer%20and%20store%20delete"](http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6199?jql=text ~ “500 error on REST layer and store delete”)

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Cheers,
Anton

Yes, I believe this is the same bug.
If you have java development abilities a patch/pull request would be
welcomed :slight_smile:
