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

Patel_Ronak_Avinash · August 20, 2009, 6:45pm

Justin,

Even with leaving this off I get a NullPointerException on upload.

Is the problem the fact that I don't have a .prj file?

Would that solve the NullPointerException?

Nothing else looks obvious...

Btw, does Geoserver version 1.7.6 contain any fixes for this?

Thanks,

Ronak Patel

Just leave it off. It is really on used to provide clients with a link
to any feature tyeps contained by the datastore. It really only makes
sense when doing a GET, so the client can traverse the links to the
contained feature types.

Justin,

What should I be entering in the featureTypes element? Should I be
entering anything?? What does the featureTypes element used for? What
"type" is it?

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:

{"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
