[Geoserver-users] INSPIRE validator throws error about LayerNames...

Hi, We are deploying some layers on a GeoServer 2.17.0 instance in order to be conforming to the INSPIRE specification.

The INSPIRE validator (https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/validator) throws errors about the layer name nomenclature of all our published layers. It throws the following message:

The following layers do not have a correct name according with the harmonised layer names given in the INSPIRE collection: ‘AM:AirQualityManagementZone, EF:Air_EnvironmentalMonitoringFacilities, …’.

It seems as the validator is expecting names such as “AM.AirQualityManagementZone”, with the “.” separator, not with the “:” separator.

GeoServer always adds, in a global WMS GetCapabilities request, the namespace prefix to the output name:

xxx/geoserver/ows?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

… you get “AM:AirQualityManagementZone”

but the default behavior in a WMS GetCapabilites request using a local workspace changes:

xxx/geoserver/am/ows?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

… you get “AirQualityManagementZone”, by default, the layer name without prefix (You could add it checking a specific checkbox in the namespace settings panel). It is right, so you could add the “AM.” text to the GeoServer Layer name to finally get the desired “AM.AirQualityManagementeZone” identifier.

Is there any setting to change the prefix-name separator? or is it possible to change the default global prefix layer naming bevavior?

thanks in advance
best regards

I have got a workaround, I will move all these layers to one unique workspace, by example “inspire”, and then I will add the prefix “xxx.” name to all of them.

Dear all,
this is a known limitation that will eventually get fixed: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-8927

Kind regards,

Hi, thank you very much Nuno for your response.

I am experimenting myself implementing a new global setting with the prefix separator to use in all prefixed resource names in GeoServer (Layers, GroupLayers, Styles…), as you know the current ‘:’ separator is hardcoded in many locations in the code.

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/compare/master…ahuarte47:master_prefix-separator

I have already got that WMS and WFS requests run properly (I am using the ‘.’ character as INSPIRE specification defines), but I have not fixed yet all issues (I have errors in WPS requests that use Layers as input parameters, or the LayerPage panel crashes when loading).

It is an experiment, I know I am changing many code, but I share it if it is useful.

Best regards
Alvaro
