[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3320) GEOS returns invalid data for openlayers request in certain condition

GEOS returns invalid data for openlayers request in certain condition
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3320
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3320
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.7.6
            Reporter: Jonathan
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

Upgraded from 1.7.5 to 1.7.6 - I did this by simply deleting all the contents of the 75 except the data_dir and replacing with 76. (binary installs both).
I neglected to remember there were a couple of plugins I should also have downloaded (mysql and pyramids). When I tried to test my coverage-layers using the "openlayers" demo page, rather than report any sort of error, Opera just ends up displaying "No registered application for this extension.".
Firefox brings up a save/open dialog to a file called just "wms", which contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/WMS_exception_1_1_1.dtd&quot;&gt; <ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1" > <ServiceException code="Internal error ">
      java.lang.NullPointerException
null
</ServiceException></ServiceExceptionReport>

While obviously I don't expect the server to be able to load the data without the extension, the fact it returns a not explanatory XML file that probably doesn't have MIME data specified (I'm guessing that's why Opera choked on it) isn't very helpful to the user.
