[Geoserver-users] GeoServer 2.20-RC Release Candidate available for testing

Hi,

thank you for providing the files. I now upgraded my 2.18.0 installation to 2.20-RC and had a problem regarding the ‘jetty.port’ setting. My steps:

  • Created a windows installer with the manual method shown in https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/win-installer.html.

  • Uninstalled GeoServer 2.18.0.

  • Installed 2.20-RC with the windows installer, using the existing data directory, port 9090 and ‘Install as a service’.

  • After starting the Windows service, I was unable to reach the GeoServer web page.

  • Inside the wrapper log file the following error was shown: “WARN:oejx.XmlConfiguration:WrapperSimpleAppMain: Property ‘jetty.port’ is deprecated, value from ‘jetty.http.port’ used”.

I went back to the files used to create the installer and changed the following:

  • GeoServerEXE.nsi → line 854 → replace ‘jetty.port’ with ‘jetty.http.port’.

  • GeoServerEXE.nsi → line 902 → replace ‘jetty.port’ with ‘jetty.http.port’.

  • wrapper.conf → line 38 → replace ‘jetty.port’ with ‘jetty.http.port’.

After creating and using a new installer, everything worked fine. As I don’t have a development environment for GeoServer set up and I don’t really know if this is the right way to solve the problem, could someone please fix this in the original source files.

Thank you and best regards

Daniel

Hi,

I confirm that the file is not available and there is not even a folder for 2.20 in https://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer/.

Hi Jody,

I just tried to download the platform independent binary of the release candidate but unfortunately got the following error message on SourceForge:

The “/GeoServer/2.20-RC/g…rver-2.20-RC-bin.zip” file could not be found or is not available. Please select another file.

Would you please be so kind to have a look what’s wrong here.

Thank you and best regards
Daniel

That is the right way to solve the issue; the windows installer is unmaintained and does not know about the new jetty setting.

We do have a new supported windows installer in the works see - https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-198
When that is ready we would love you to help test it; so far the work is going well and is no longer limited to 32 bit java etc…

I have downloaded GeoServer 2.20-RC and deployed this onto our test server
Additional plugins:- Oracle and MapML
It is running in Tomcat 8.5 on a UNIX server running SunOS 5.11
Java version AdoptOpenJDK 1.8.0_275_b01
Geoserver connects to an Oracle 19c DB via JNDI configured in Tomcat

I have over 90 layers defined with the vast majority being vector data served as wfs & wms. Geoserver needed a second restart after the web.xml was edited to point to my data dir

MapML works well to create a quick webmap, but it is a little slow.

I have not encountered any issues

Regards,
Graham Humphries
