Spaces in resource name breaks KML and GML output formats.
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-3026
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3026
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha2
Environment: Ubuntu Jaunty
Reporter: Tim Coulter
Assignee: Andrea Aime
If a space is added into the resource name of a layer, KML and GML output formats in the layer preview break, and they will break in different ways.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install and run a fresh install of Geoserver.
2) On the Layers page, click on the "states" layer and then change the layer's resource name to "united states". Make sure you include the space, but ignore the quotes. Click Save.
3) Click on the Layer Preview page, and then preview the "topp:united states" layer in the formats below. Note that that each format errors in different ways. I've included the errors with the formats below
Discussion:
Justin said we should probably disallow having spaces in resource names. Sounds like a good plan. Do we know if customers rely on spaces?
Formats:
KML & GML quick links, and KML (plain) from the dropdown: Errors with a javascript error. http://localhost:8081/geoserver/web/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:org.geoserver.web.demo.MapPreviewPage (line 1)
syntax error ../wms/kml_reflect?layers=topp:united states
KML (compressed): Google Earth shows a big X where the layer should be.
GML 2: New tab showing:
