[Geoserver-devel] geoserver 1.3.0 src issue

Hi,

First off a quick thanks to Chris (Holmes) and Saul. I had inquired
about hardware requirements last week and the responses were very
informative and helpful. I'm still not sure at this point whether I'll
be able to use GeoServer or not (a customer/upper mgt decision), but
hardware (and budget) limitations might push the project away from
ESRI's ArcGIS anyway so we'll see.

In the event we do use GeoServer I downloaded the source code for
1.3.0 (the last stable release I believe) and imported this into
Eclipse. After compilation and firing up GeoServer I hit a runtime
ConfigurationException, 'trouble parsing XML' ... 'The end-tag for
element type "datastore" must end with a '>' delimeter.', originating
in ReaderUtils.loadConfig(). In conf/WEB-INF/catalog.xml and (but
probably less importantly) cite/confUserBasic/WEB-INF/catalog.xml I
added </datastore> end-tags, previously missing at line 36 in both
files (all other datastore end-tags appeared to be present).

GeoServer from my local 1.3.0 source is now running okay, so I'm
sharing the above just in case you are unaware of the issue and this
info is of use.

Thanks,
Stephen

We are aware of the issue, but thanks a ton for bringing it up, it's much better to hear twice about an issue than not at all. Should be fixed in the next release.

best regards,

Chris
