Hi,
Is it possible to develop GeoServer Data (Workspaces, Stores, Layers, etc.) in Windows environment to migrate individual files as an update to a Linux environment?
I have had some luck doing this in GeoServer 2.1.1, but fall short when it comes to GeoWebCache. I am able to deploy Layers and associated files in their respective directories and have success in WMS layer services. However, when it comes to GeoWebCache layers, I get “ERROR [geowebcache.GeoWebCacheDispatcher] - Thread 85 Unknown layer … Check the logfiles, it may not have loaded properly.”
I am not sure of what “loaded properly” is referring to or if there are alternatives to this.
I have not had success with the GeoWebCache Reload Configuration button. However, I am able get these layers to appear in GeoWebCache list of all layers and can manually seed them. It appears GeoServer does not recognize the effort for these layers in GeoWebCache or visa-versa.
It is highly desirable to develop GeoServer Data on one system, then only migrate selected files as an update to other systems, versus migrating the entire GeoServer Data set or repeat the loading process layer by layer.
Is this GeoServer Data development approach do-able (migrate individual files as an update) or am I missing something?
Does GeoServer 2.2.x offer a solution better integrating GeoWebCache for this ad hoc development approach?
Thanks,
Rick
