[Geoserver-users] ArcSDE 9.2 Coveragestore URL problem

Hi,

I’m trying to set up an ArcSDE Raster coveragestore and I keep getting invalid URL messages when submitting the config form. This seems like a similar problem to some earlier posts I’ve seen, but I don’t have a solution. I’ve been able to set up an SDE datastore under the same environment to the same SDE instance/user without any problems. This is the environment:

Geoserver instance: Windows, GeoServer 1.7.5 (war) deployed to Tomcat 6.0.x, JDK 1.6, ArcSDE 9.2 client jars (obtained from ArcIMS install instead of SDE)

SDE database: Linux, Oracle 10gR2, ArcSDE 9.2

I am entering the following url: sde://:@orapub:5151/#.

The error message showing up in the manager console is: Invalid url: ‘<my_url>’ for format type:‘ArcSDE Raster’. I’m not getting any error message in either the geoserver or tomcat logs. I did have to include one additional jar from my ArcIMS install directory in order to get the SDE datastore configuration to work properly (icu4j_3_2.jar)… this was being called from the jsde92_sdk.jar and jpe92_sdk.jar files, but after including that the datastore setup worked fine and I am able to serve data without any problems. So I’d expect the ArcSDE Raster to work as well, but so far no luck.

Thanks for any advice on what I should be using for my URL.
