[Geoserver-devel] Wanted: An empty data directory

Does there exist a way to generate (or does someone already have) a blank data directory that contains nothing, no styles, stores, layers, etc? When working on projects, I often find myself taking an existing data dir and painstakingly removing all the content, but I feel like that's not the best way to accomplish this sort of thing (and I fear it could possibly lead to data dir corruption). And now that the data directory structure seems a bit more complex (in 2.0, I mean) I think it would be helpful to have access to one that contains nothing to begin with.

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks,

http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/data/minimal/ is intended to be
exactly that (it does include the default styles so that new layers
won't go boom, but there's no actual data in it.)

Hi David. Thanks. I notice that this directory contains "catalog.xml" which leads me to believe that this data dir is native to 1.7, not 2.0. Am I right? Is there a data dir native to 2.0 (i.e. not converted from 1.7) that exists somewhere?

Thanks,

None of the data dirs have been converted and stored in svn. We should probably do that sooner rather than later.

What do others think?

Well, at the very least, this should be tackled before 2.0 ships, I'd think.

on this note, it would be great for the default styles to have names that sort well with each other. perhaps ~line, ~raster, ~point. it would make searching for styles much easier.

as i have so many styles.

best,
alyssa.

another way to phrase this, would be to have style groups.
