Looks like I didn't hit Reply All button last time 
I checked the contents of the response : it is empty, looks like only the code is returned.
As for the debug traces, even with the most verbose option, no stacktraces (which sounds pretty normal as the return code is not a 5xx one). All I get is :
13 août 11:58:33 DEBUG [geoserver.filters] - filtering http://mydomain.com/geoserver/rest/layers/vnf:DT1382

Can it be a matter of version, as my server is only in 1.7.4 ?

It is appreciated if all inquiries are kept on the public list. Thanks.
Do you get a message back when you try to do the delete? Can you go to
the user interface, turn up logging to GEOSERVER_DEVELOPER_LOGGING and
try again. You should see a stack trace of some sort on the console or
in the log.

First, thanks for the quick answer.
It seems that it is the DELETE method that is problematic on /rest/layers/xxx resources. Even when prefixing the featureType with the namespace, the server still sends me back a 405 (Method not allowed) response.
Was it the only way ?

You can delete the layer by using its namespace/workspace prefix. So if
you do:
DELETE /rest/layers/<ns>:<theFeatureTypeName>
It should work.
This is sort of a hacky workaround to deal with how the internal model
works. The resource publishing split which has been talked about on the
developer list should fix this problem. But that won't be until 2.1.

Hi,
I'm using the REST API to manage the feature types on a Geoserver (1.7.4
version).
When I create a feature type on the server, I also create two styles for
this feature type and associates them to the feature by updating the
layer entry that was created. Everything works pretty well:
Problem comes when I try to delete a feature. The deletion of the
featureType seems does not seem to delete the layer using it and no
DELETE request seems to be available on
/rest/layers/<theFeatureTypeName> (I get a 405 return code when
trying). I have to re-load the configuration using the standard web
configuration pages to make the layer disapear.
Is reloading the configuration the only solution or did I miss something ?
