[Geoserver-users] 500 error on REST layer and store delete

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

Hello list,
in the GeoNode project we recently upgraded the geoserver version to 2.4, which is great, although we are facing an issue related to the REST layer delete.
The issue is described here https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/issues/1284 and the piece of code originating it is here https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/blob/master/geonode/geoserver/helpers.py#L218.
The workflow we use to delete a layer is:

  • Delete the layer
  • Delete the associated styles
  • Delete the featuretype
  • Delete the store

We get a 500 error (the stacktrace is in the issue) on the delete featuretype step.
The http request we make is a DELETE to an address like this one http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/datastores/streams/featuretypes/streams.xml

Which exists before the call and doesn’t exist anymore after the call even if the result is a 500 error.

Thanks i advance for any help and suggestion you can give

Is GeoServer logging any strack trace when this happens?

That is useful. Can you open a ticket at
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS, adding that stack trace,
and a description of how to reproduce, in it?

In the meantime do you have any suggestions?
Doing some tests I noticed that in order to preserve the geoserver integrity I can add a try block around that DELETE call and then trigger a geoserver catalog reload. Without the reload the reload of the same layer breaks and there are other errors.
