[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-1580) Data properties unavailable after updating a shapefile and reloading the catalog.

Data properties unavailable after updating a shapefile and reloading the catalog.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1580
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1580
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0-RC1
         Environment: - Windows XP Professional 2002 Service Pack 2.
- Debian Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 i686

            Reporter: Guillaume Lathoud
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

Actions:
- A datastore is pointing to a shapefile on the disk (polylines with properties).
- I replace the shapefile with a modified version that contains some geometry changes.
  THE PHYSICAL DISK PATH REMAINS THE SAME.
- GeoServer admin page (welcome.do) > Configuration > Login > Catalog reload.
- GeoServer admin page (welcome.do) > Demo > Preview (Openlayer demo).

Observations:
- The geometry of the polylines appears correctly updated.
- Clicking on the polylines does not provide any property information anymore.
    --> the properties of the polylines are unavailable.
- If the SLD contains property-based filters {{<ogc:Filter> ... <ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo> ...}}
that determine e.g. the color of the polylines, then the polylines do not appear at all and everything is white in the demo.
   
Workarounds:
- Stop & restart GeoServer after each update of the shapefile.
- Make sure that the physical disk path of the shapefile changes, e.g. by including some timestamp info to the name of the directory that contains the new version of the shapefile.
