[Geoserver-users] App-schema issue mapping GeologyCore INSPIRE schema

[Moved to GeoServer users list]

Stefano,

I could not see anything obvious in your mapping file. Do you have a secondary namespace configured for gml?
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/app-schema/supported-gml-versions.html#secondary-namespace-for-gml-3-2-1-required

I did not see anything obviously wrong with the schemas, either. GeoServer app-schema guesses GML version based on whether a GML 3.1 or 3.2 feature base type is present. I did not see anything that could import GML 3.1.1.

In the past I have seen GML 3.2.1 application schemas that mistakenly import GML 3.1.1 and cause GeoServer app-schema to load the wrong Java bindings. If GeoServer finds both, it will pick GML 3.1.1; see SUPPORTED_GML_KNOWN_TYPE_TO_CONFIGURATION_MAP and findGmlConfiguration in GmlFeatureTypeRegistryConfiguration. This is a schema problem as a GML application schema should use only one version of GML.

Try removing your app-schema-cache and restarting (with only this one feature type mapped) to see if any GML 3.1.1 schemas are downloaded into the cache.

Kind regards,
Ben.

From the error message of the exception's root cause, marked in red, it looks like NaturalGeomorphologicFeatureType was not properly parsed and added to the schema index, not sure why. Also the message "Failed to get properties. Binding for {http://www.opengis.net/gml\}AbstractFeatureType" sounds wrong to me: shouldn't have been "{http://www.opengis.net/gml/3\.2\}AbstractFeatureType", since the geology schema links to GML 3.2?
I tried to change output format to "gml3" and the exception disappears, although the output is not perfect (e.g. "shape" geometry element is not properly encoded):

       </ge:specification>
     </ge:MappedFeature>
   </gml:featureMember>

I tested with GeoServer 2.7.1 and master, obtaining similar results.

Does anybody have an idea of what might be going wrong?

Hi

I am not sure if this is related but the namespace prefix "ge" seems not
used in the xsd.

It seems to be ge-core. unless that is tackled in the namespace defintion
required by geoserver app-schema. (although I understand this would mean the
xsd is not correct, right?)

I know there is/was an issue with app-schema if the namespace prefix uses a
dash. I am equaly not 100% sure this relates only to gml321 outputs.

I hope this helps in some direction.

Luc

PS: I could not see your mapping file

Oggetto: Re: App-schema issue mapping GeologyCore INSPIRE schema

I could not see anything obvious in your mapping file. Do you have a
secondary namespace configured for gml?
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/app-schema/supported-gml-versions.html#secondary-namespace-for-gml-3-2-1-required

Yes, I do, namespace.xml:

NamespaceInfoImpl–5e80c53:14e0c255a07:-6795

gml

http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2

…and workspace.xml:

WorkspaceInfoImpl–5e80c53:14e0c255a07:-6794

gml

I did not see anything obviously wrong with the schemas, either.
GeoServer app-schema guesses GML version based on whether a GML 3.1 or
3.2 feature base type is present. I did not see anything that could
import GML 3.1.1.

In the past I have seen GML 3.2.1 application schemas that mistakenly
import GML 3.1.1 and cause GeoServer app-schema to load the wrong Java
bindings. If GeoServer finds both, it will pick GML 3.1.1; see
SUPPORTED_GML_KNOWN_TYPE_TO_CONFIGURATION_MAP and findGmlConfiguration
in GmlFeatureTypeRegistryConfiguration. This is a schema problem as a
GML application schema should use only one version of GML.

I created a test case proving that the right GML version is picked:

/**

  • Test we can find that Geology Core 3.0 depends on GML 3.2.
    */
    @Test
    public void findGeologyConfiguration() {
    AppSchemaConfiguration configuration = new AppSchemaConfiguration(
    http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ge-core/3.0”,
    http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ge-core/3.0/GeologyCore.xsd”,
    new SchemaResolver(new SchemaCache(new File(“/tmp/app-schema-cache”), true)));
    Configuration gmlConfiguration = GmlFeatureTypeRegistryConfiguration.findGmlConfiguration(configuration);
    Assert.assertNotNull(gmlConfiguration);
    Assert.assertEquals(new org.geotools.gml3.v3_2.GMLConfiguration(), gmlConfiguration);
    }

The test passes, as expected.

Try removing your app-schema-cache and restarting (with only this one
feature type mapped) to see if any GML 3.1.1 schemas are downloaded into
the cache.

I cleared the cache, restarted and checked the version of the downloaded gml.xsd: 3.2.1.2, which is correct.

I made further experiments and noticed that if I define a FeatureTypeMapping for ge:NaturalGeomorphologicFeatureType, everything works as expected; if I just define a FeatureTypeMapping for ge:MappedFeature and use element ge:NaturalGeomorphologicFeature in its attribute mappings, the “Could not find type…” exception occurs.

Inspecting the code, I found out that for mapped feature types an attribute descriptor is created and the element declaration is stored in the userData map of the descriptor:
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/aa0d0346e4bb4a5a2055559c22d2b12ded7cbd20/modules/extension/complex/src/main/java/org/geotools/data/complex/config/FeatureTypeRegistry.java#L355

Then, when a request comes in and the properties of the feature type must be extracted, the XSD type definition is retrieved from the userData map:
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/aa0d0346e4bb4a5a2055559c22d2b12ded7cbd20/modules/extension/xsd/xsd-gml2/src/main/java/org/geotools/gml2/bindings/GMLEncodingUtils.java#L135

On the contrary, if a feature type is not mapped, the descriptor’s userData map is empty and the XSD type definition cannot be found: thus, a “Could not find type …” exception is raised.

I created a patch to fix this, by taking the type definition from the element declaration that is passed as an argument to the AbstractFeatureType_getProperties method: in my case, this solves the problem, but I’m not at all sure this approach is correct (I’ll frankly admit I don’t fully understand what the code is doing here).
I’m attaching an updated version of the mapping file and the patch in diff format: if you think it’s useful, I can make a PR.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Thanks,
Stefano

From the error message of the exception’s root cause, marked in red, it looks like NaturalGeomorphologicFeatureType was not properly parsed and added to the schema index, not sure why. Also the message “Failed to get properties. Binding for {http://www.opengis.net/gml}AbstractFeatureType” sounds wrong to me: shouldn’t have been “{http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2}AbstractFeatureType”, since the geology schema links to GML 3.2?
I tried to change output format to “gml3” and the exception disappears, although the output is not perfect (e.g. “shape” geometry element is not properly encoded):

xsi:schemaLocation=“http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ge-core/3.0 http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ge-core/3.0/GeologyCore.xsd”>

I tested with GeoServer 2.7.1 and master, obtaining similar results.

Does anybody have an idea of what might be going wrong?

Hi Luc,
thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

However, from furhter investigations, the issue doesn’t seem to be related to namespace naming (see my second e-mail).

Oggetto: Re: [Geoserver-users] App-schema issue mapping GeologyCore INSPIRE schema

Hi

I am not sure if this is related but the namespace prefix “ge” seems not
used in the xsd.

It seems to be ge-core. unless that is tackled in the namespace defintion
required by geoserver app-schema. (although I understand this would mean the
xsd is not correct, right?)

I know there is/was an issue with app-schema if the namespace prefix uses a
dash. I am equaly not 100% sure this relates only to gml321 outputs.

I hope this helps in some direction.

Luc

PS: I could not see your mapping file

Luc,

xml namespace prefixes are local to the xml document in which they are declared. It is valid for a single namespace to have prefix ge-core in one document, ge in another, and ns1 in a third. I checked Stefano's ge namespace declaration and it appeared correct. Thanks for noting the difference!

Kind regards,
Ben.

Great analysis, Stefano. I am not sure that your fix is in the right place. I think that the underlying problem is in FeatureTypeRegistry and that somehow this feature type is being built without the user data being set on its descriptor. I would like to know why.

A feature type is a complex type and it should be perfectly valid to use it in a mapping as a complex property. I have confirmed that this works with the app-schema tutorial by removing the mapping file for gsml:MappedFeature and adding a mapping for gsml:occurrence/gsml:MappedFeature/gml:name in the gsml:GeologicUnit mapping file.

Kind regards,

Correction: features have descriptors (not feature types). Perhaps the problem is where the mapping is applied (DataAccessMappingFeatureIterator.computeNext)?

Stefano,

I have applied your patch to GeoTools master.
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/commit/e87ff09fd970dcda3d1aa0cea0497d1ef62b0316

I have not been able to identify the difference that allows a nested feature to work properly in GeoSciML 2 and yet fail for GeologyCore. Top-level features have special treatment, but the situation is quite similar for the nested feature. Perhaps some subtle difference in cardinality or substitution group handling? The code base is very complicated.

Your fix certainly works for this case (tested manually against a property file configuration based on your mapping file), and only changes the behaviour of the method when all else fails, so I am quite happy with it.

Kind regards,
Ben.

I created a patch to fix this, by taking the type definition from the element declaration that is passed as an argument to the AbstractFeatureType_getProperties method: in my case, this solves the problem, but I'm not at all sure this approach is correct (I'll frankly admit I don't fully understand what the code is doing here).
I'm attaching an updated version of the mapping file and the patch in diff format: if you think it's useful, I can make a PR.

That’s great news! :slight_smile:

The code base is very complicated.

I’m glad to hear you say that, now I know I’m not the only one feeling that way :slight_smile:
If I ever discover the root cause of the issue, I’ll report back to the ML.

You are welcome. I am pleased to see more use of app-schema.

By the way do you know if INSPIRE GeologyCore is meant to replace GeoSciML? I do not know anything about it; GeologyCore seems to have some commonality, but be more oriented towards environmental sciences (no surprise here as that is the mandate for INSPIRE), whereas GeoSciML seems focussed on hard rock geology. Any opinions?

Kind regards,
