[Geoserver-users] unable to create FeatureType in 1.7.3a

Hi All,

I cannot create a featuretype in GeoServer 1.7.3a. I use Oracle
Spatial NG datastore, which seemed to set up correctly. I also have
own namespace. When I select New on the screen
Welcome | Config | Data | FeatureTypes
I get to screen
Welcome | Config | Data | FeatureTypes | New
where I can select only existing ones. If I select one, the name is
read only, so it seems to me that editing is performed instead of
creating a new one. After removing all predefined featuretypes, the
dropdown list is empty, and if I try to hit the new button on the last
screen, an exception is thrown.

How can I create a brand new feature type with own name using own
datastore and namespace?
Thank you in advance.

Hi All,

How can I create a brand new feature type with own name using own
datastore and namespace?

I tried 1.7.2 and there after pressing New I get a list of all
available tables in every namespaces, also in mine. Here I use the old
Oracle datastore, in 1.7.3 the one with NG in the name. I will delete
my datastore in 1.7.3 and recreate it to see what happens in the log.

Here is what I did to install the Oracle datastore:
:/usr/local/geoserver-1.7.3/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib# ln
/usr/local/geoserver-1.7.3-gdal-plugin/*jar .
...# ln /usr/local/geoserver-1.7.3-oracleng-plugin/gt-jdbc-core-2.5.4.jar .
...# ln /usr/local/geoserver-1.7.3-oracleng-plugin/gt-jdbc-oracle-2.5.4.jar .
...# ln /usr/local/instantclient_11_1/ojdbc6.jar .

Is this correct?
thank you in advance.
