catching up on email.

Right, non spatial tables are not supported by the ArcSDE geotools plugin,

but

supporting at least the sde registered tables would be quite easy I guess

and

the appropriate way to indicate which ones to show and what not

(registering

a table/view with sde works more or less like the postgis geometry_columns

table)

Bart, could you add a jira issue for this?

regards,

Gabriel

&gt; &gt; Hi list,
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; we've been trying to access a non-spatial table (ArcCatalog

calls this a

&gt; &gt; SDE Table) through Geoserver-ArcSDE, but when choosing New

FeatureType it

&gt; &gt; does not show up in the list. Is there some kind of check in the

ArcSDE

&gt; &gt; driver that filters for this?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; When using the &quot;raw&quot; OCI connection, we do get the

table, but ofcourse it

&gt; &gt; would be best to reference everything through ArcSDE.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Is this a known caveat? TIA.
&gt;
&gt; Generally speaking non geographic data serving in GeoTools data store
&gt; came as an afterthought, and fixing a datastore so that it can deal
&gt; with data without geometries is not always easy. Many datastores
&gt; were in fact coded so that non geometric tables weren't available
&gt; because they did not make sense in a GIS setting.
&gt; Afterwards some datastores were fixed to work with geometryless
&gt; data as well, I guess ArcSDE is not among the lot.
&gt; Probably Gabriel can provide more information about this.
&gt; Gabriel?
