[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-1816) WFS DescribeFeatureType does not work anymore if the layer prefix is not provided

WFS DescribeFeatureType does not work anymore if the layer prefix is not provided
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1816
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1816
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: WFS
    Affects Versions: 1.6.2
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Justin Deoliveira
             Fix For: 1.6.3

The following request fails:

{code:xml}
<DescribeFeatureType
  version="1.0.0"
  service="WFS"
  xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wfs&quot;
  xmlns:topp="http://www.openplans.org/topp&quot;
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd&quot;&gt;
  
    <TypeName>states</TypeName>
    
</DescribeFeatureType>
{code}

reporting that the states layer is not found. The WFS datastore used to work by making it, I think because topp is the default namespace (we try to lookup stuff in the default namespace for other requests as well, or at least we should, for example GetFeature POST without the namespace works).
