[Geoserver-users] Coverage Data Set Exception

Hello all,

I am trying to import the Natural Earth data set and am currently stuck due to the following exception when I click “Submit” on the “Coverage Data Set Editor” while trying to create a new Coverage Data Set:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1

I followed the tutorial for “High performance coverage serving” and then the tutorial for “Using the ImageMosaic plugin”.

Here is a brief summary of what I did:

  • Downloaded the “Landcover, shaded relief, water” TIF data from here: http://www.shadedrelief.com/natural/pages/download.html
  • Created a tiled GeoTIFF file for each of the hemisphere TIF files.
  • Added overviews to both GeoTIFFs.
  • Created the index files/shape files.
  • Created a properties file “natural_earth.properties” with the following entries:
    Name=natural_earth
    Levels=0.011111111111110,0.011111111111110
    LevelsNum=1
    Envelope2D=-180.005556,-89.994444,179.994444,90.005556
    NumFiles=2
  • Created a projection file “natural_earth.prj” with the following entries:
    PROJCS[“Albers Equal area”,
    GEOGCS[“WGS 84”,
    DATUM[“World Geodetic System 1984”,
    SPHEROID[“WGS 84”,6378137.0,298.257223563,
    AUTHORITY[“EPSG”,“7030”]],
    AUTHORITY[“EPSG”,“6326”]],
    PRIMEM[“Greenwich”,0.0,
    AUTHORITY[“EPSG”,“8901”]],
    UNIT[“degree”,0.017453292519943295],
    AXIS[“Geodetic latitude”,NORTH],
    AXIS[“Geodetic longitude”,EAST],
    AUTHORITY[“EPSG”,“4326”]],
    PROJECTION[“Albers Equal Area”,
    AUTHORITY[“EPSG”,“9822”]],
    UNIT[“m”,1.0],
    AXIS[“Easting”,EAST],
    AXIS[“Northing”,NORTH],
    AUTHORITY[“EPSG”,“41111”]]
  • Created a new directoy “natural_earth” under GeoServer’s “coverages” directory and copied all related files there.
  • Attempted to create a new Coverage Data Set from the web interface with the following parameters:
    Namespace: topp
    Type: ImageMosaic
    URL: file:coverages/natural_earth/natural_earth.shp

I am running GeoServer 1.5.4 and am new to all of this stuff. So it is probably a configuration error on my part, but I’m not sure how to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks,
