[Geoserver-users] REST Configuration API

Justin_Deoliveira · April 14, 2009, 6:25pm

Ok, this fix went in after 1.7.3. Is there any chance you could try it out with the latest nightly build? That will at least give us the exception that is occurring. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I downloaded the latest stable build 1.7.3a. I just downloaded that and
the REST plugin from geoserver.org today.

Hmmm... I am still not seeing the exception in the logs. Come to think of it I think i added the logging statement in my latest patch to fix the related issue. What build are you running?

Hi Justin,

I set the logs to verbose like you said and I get the following error:

Like you said, I blow away the contents of the
/opt/geoserver-1.7.3/data_dir/data/coveragestorename to get rid of my
geotiff file.

I see that the HTTP PUT does indeed upload my file to geoserver fine.
The problem seems to be with processing the geotiff file after a
successfull upload.

Hopefully this is helpful.

Thanks,

Ronak Patel

Hi Patel,

Can you log into the admin console and turn on verbose logging.

Config -> Server and change logging to GEOSERVER_DEVELOPER. And then

try

again including the stack trace from the error log.

Also, when files are uploaded they get put into the "data" directory under neath GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR, you may want to try clearing out the appropriate sub directories to ensure a "fresh" start. Which reminds

me

I fixed an issue recently with files not being able to overwrite existing files, that might be coming into play here.

Thanks,

-Justin

Justin,

By the way, I am actually PUTing the image to the server and NOT
POSTing.

I keep getting this error when I try to upload a png or jpg:

14 Apr 10:00:08 INFO [catalog.rest] - PUT file, mimetype: image/jpeg
14 Apr 10:00:08 INFO [catalog.rest] - Using existing coverage store:

14 Apr 10:00:22 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error auto-configuring

When I try to upload a GeoTiff, I always get the following error:

14 Apr 10:03:49 INFO [catalog.rest] - PUT file, mimetype: image/tif
14 Apr 10:03:49 INFO [catalog.rest] - Using existing coverage store:
blah
14 Apr 10:03:49 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error auto-configuring
coverage:java.lang.NullPointerException

I hope that helps in debugging the situation.

Thanks a million!!

Justin,

I desperately tried all day yesterday to try to POST a coverage and

get

Geoserver to accept my image (a GeoTiff).

I am POSTing to a CoverageStore and Workspace that I create using the
REST API.

I am POSTing the following:

URL:

/geoserver/rest/workspaces/testWorkspace/coveragestores/testStore/file.g

eotiff

POST ContentType image/tif and the POST content is the file.

I noticed that if I set the configure=none&coverageName=test flags in
the URL, then the file is ingested by Geoserver without complaining.

When I don't set these cgi parameters, things fail and complain.

Why does this happen?

Also, do I have to create a layer to host the image in the WMS? Or is
this done automatically?

Thanks a million!!
