[Geoserver-users] REST NPE while uploading features to Geoserver

Justin_Deoliveira · August 12, 2009, 2:46pm

Yeah... that json looks a bit wierd.

"featureTypes": "shp"

Not sure what you mean there.

And for the workspace, i would avoid the nulls and just reference by name. Actually you don't really need to specify it since it is inferred from the URL you are POSTing or PUTing to.

Or just include it by name:

"workspace":{"name":"hello"}

or even just:

"workspace": "hello"

should work.

Justin,

I am putting the following JSON:

POST /geoserver/rest/workspaces/hello/datastores HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46Z2Vvc2VydmVy
Content-Type: application/json
User-Agent: Java/1.6.0_13
Host: patel-xp.irad.net:9090
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 139

{"dataStore":{"enabled":"true","featureTypes":"shp","name":"testzip","wo
rkspace":{"coverageStores":null,"dataStores":null,"name":"hello"}}}

Are those nulls the problem?? Or the featureTypes parameter?

Hi Ronak,

The error means that there is a problem with the xml you are uploading. Can you include the request and the xml you are trying to upload.

As for the zip file, it is the "regular" zip format (pkzip or whichever)

, not gzip. The zip file you sent never got through to me. Is there anyway you can post it? Or just send it to me direcetly, not cc'ing the public list.

Justin,

Out of curiosity, does the ZIP file have to be a GZIP file? Or a

regular

zip file is good as well?

I can write out either using Java.

Please let me know what format I need....

Hey Justin,

Thanks for the loads of help you've provided.

I had another question:

I'm trying to upload a shapefile (and its associated .shx and .dbf) files as a zip file to geoserver using the REST configuration but I

seem

to get a NullPointerException back:

PUT

/geoserver/rest/workspaces/hello/datastores/testzip/file.shp?coverageNam
e=test

HTTP/1.1

Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46Z2Vvc2VydmVy

Content-Type: application/zip

User-Agent: Java/1.6.0_13

Host: patel-xp.irad.net:9090

Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2

Connection: keep-alive

Content-Length: 495

[The zip file containing the zip file]

The zip file I am sending is created by 7zip.

I get this error inside Geoserver:

04 Aug 18:29:56 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error occured unzipping file:error in o

pening zip file
