[Geoserver-users] Freemarker template ftl file disappear

Hi all,
I have a little trouble with my getFeatureInfo Freemarker file.
Every time geoserver is restarted or after applying some modification and then saved, the *.ftl files are deleted from the directory GEOSERVER_DATE_DIR/featureTypes/. Why men?

best regards

Milan

Ouch, this looks bad. Can you clarify one thing? Did you have
the template files directly in
GEOSERVER_DATE_DIR/featureTypes/
or in specific featuretype folders?

Also, which version of GeoServer are you using?
Cheers
Andrea

Yes my “content.ftl” is directly in the GEOSERVER_DATE_DIR/featureTypes/ folder.

or in specific featuretype folders?

When I put the file in the specific featuretype folders it is not deleted.

Also, which version of GeoServer are you using?

I’m using the 1.7.4

I noticed that in the “GEOSERVER_DATE_DIR/featureTypes/”, during Tomcat restart, a backup file (content.ftl.bak) is created before the elimination .

Oh, I see. Definitely a bug. Can you open a bug report at jira.codehaus.org?

I’ve tried with a fresh installed GS and it does not have the problem.

The difference is that the version with the problem is up since the 1.6.4 version and it has been upgraded
every new release. The only thing that is always the same is the data folder. Elsewhere I don’t see anything strange in the log files.
Maybe also the data folder must be upgraded?

I begin to think that it is a problem just for me. Maybe wrong environment setting (I’ll take a look)

Sorry, I am wrong. The problem still exist in the fresh installation. Also on an other machine.

I’ll open a bug report…
