capabilities directory required for validation
----------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-349
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-349
Project: GeoServer
Type: Bug
Reporter: dblasby
Assigned to: dblasby
Fix For: 1.3-rc1
If you remove the server/geoserver/data/capabilities directory you can have problems because external programs validating output (esp the WMS getcapabilities) cannot access the DTD. For example, WMS capabilities has this line:
<!DOCTYPE WMT_MS_Capabilities SYSTEM "http://216.27.158.75:80/geoserver/data/capabilities/wms/1.1.1/WMS_MS_Capabilities.dtd">
if you remove data/capabilities/... the server can no longer serve this, and you'll have validation problems.
There's another JIRA for capabilities/ that should address this.
You can still use your GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR stuff normally, just dont delete the data/capabilities file directory in the war.
For most people, they'll never do this so this isnt going to affect them...
