[Geoserver-users] WFS: XML Parsing Error

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with an exposed layer in geoserver 2.3.2 (deployed from war file).

I upload a layer before as shp file (in a SHP datastore), then as postgis table (in postgis datastore).
I’m able to see the wms as openlayer (from layer preview) but not as gml.
In both cases I got the error:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

How can I check the layer?
I guess my problem could be in the origin SHP file, but checking the geometry in QGis, I had not found errors.

Could someone suggest me which kind of control may I do?

Kind regards

Eugenio

Version 2.3.x is out of support, any chance you can upgrade to 2.5.x?

Anyways, it may be interesting to see the generated GML, maybe the encoder
is failing
mid way on a specific feature in your dataset.
Try to save the output instead of viewing it in the browser.

Cheers
Andrea

Thank you Andrea for the answer,
of course I can move to 2.5.x I don’t know how long does it take, and if the migration
is soft or hard. If I have to deploy the new version only repointing the data_dir
I can do it in a while.

I wondering if it does solve my problem.
However put the gml output here in attach.

Hope it could help.

regards

Eugenio

Ah ok, found the reason, you are using attribute names that make the xml
invalid:

<IGG:name>France</IGG:name>
      <IGG:area>5.48780908430388E11</IGG:area>
      <IGG:1990_mwe>4.2</IGG:1990_mwe>
      <IGG:1995_mwt>599.0</IGG:1995_mwt>
      <IGG:1995_h_tjy>7350.0</IGG:1995_h_tjy>
      <IGG:1995_mwe>4.2</IGG:1995_mwe>
      <IGG:2000_mwt>326.0</IGG:2000_mwt>
      <IGG:2000_h_tjy>4895.0</IGG:2000_h_tjy>
      <IGG:2000_mwe>4.2</IGG:2000_mwe>
      <IGG:2005_mwt>308.0</IGG:2005_mwt>
      <IGG:2005_h_tjy>5195.7</IGG:2005_h_tjy>
      <IGG:2005_mwe>15.0</IGG:2005_mwe>
      <IGG:2010_mwt>1345.0</IGG:2010_mwt>
      <IGG:2010_h_tjy>12929.0</IGG:2010_h_tjy>
      <IGG:2010_mwe>16.0</IGG:2010_mwe>
      <IGG:2013_mwe>17.0</IGG:2013_mwe>

An attribute name in xml cannot start with a number. It is your
responsibility
to ensure that, you'll have to either modify your source data, or if you
are working
against a database, use a sql view to rename the fields starting with a
number
