schema.xml type information is not read anymore
-----------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2747
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2747
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Justin Deoliveira
Fix For: 1.7.5
schema.xml was used in GeoServer < 1.7.x for two purposes:
- remove attribute that the admin did not want to be seen by users
- force a specific type interpretation of a certain column
The first has been restored. The latter is not, and Oracle users that do not have type information built into the spatial index (the only place where that can be provided in Oracle) don't have anymore a good way to override the generic GeometryAssociationType returned by DescribeFeatureType.
In organisations where the db is managed by separated db admins, where the database cannot go online for hours/days to allow for full index rebuilds, this is a show stopper, as some client applications won't work with the generic geometry type.
