So I’ve been at this for over 10 hours now ( most of it loading the data as specified by the docs http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Loading+TIGER+data ),
all appears to have gone fine and I the appropriate features constructed in GeoServer tied to the postgis datasource. I was attempting to deploy GeoServer.war into my GlassFish deployment and it didn’t appear to work properly so I went with the standalone version. It still doesn’t work properly. Sometimes I’ll get portions rendered, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes the admin page will timeout or something when creating a featuretype and generate the bounding box, other times it won’t. Then there is the other matter of the content-type for the tiles being returned as text even though I explicitly specify the format in the request as image/gif and tried image/jpeg and image/png.
Has there been many successes with loading the raw tiger data? Based on the writeup it looked like it went the way it was supposed to. I’m using the 06 census data for California alone and not the entire U.S. Is there some pre-cooked postgis db somewhere with a proven successful loading of the data I could grab so I can rule that out of
equation?

Yes, the GeoServer demo you see at sigma.openplans.org is backed by a
postgis database containing tiger data for the entire U.S. There are
issues with computing bounding boxes with large datasets in GeoServer
but I would not think a single state would be too bad. Do you have
indexes built for all your tables. And have you vacuum analyzed them?

Saumel,
I can't talk about Glassfish or about setting up Tiger data much,
but wrong content type is definitely new, never seen that happening.
Can you go to the server admin config and enable file logging,
then hit geoserver with some requests so that you can reproduce
some of the issues before, go to the data_dir, grab the log,
open a jira issue (jira.codehaus.org), and attach the log to it
(the mailing list won't accept big attachments).
Cheers
Andrea
