[Geoserver-users] wms.xml, wfs.xml, wcs.xml wps.xml files get cleared of content making services unavailable

Issue:

We have an issue where the wms.xml, wfs.xml, wcs.xml and wps.xml files in GeoServer from time to time get cleared of content, thus resulting in no services being available.

Environment:

We have 2 environments. Both exhibit the issue.

  1. Environment 1

a. GeoServer version 2.1.x

b. Running on RHEL 5.7

c. JBoss 5.1

d. Clustered configuration

i. 4 GeoServer Instances clustered sharing global file external data directory

ii. F5 Load balancer in front of the GeoServers.

  1. Environment 2

a. GeoServer version 2.1.x

b. Running on RHEL 5.7

c. JBoss 5.1

d. Clustered configuration

i. 2 GeoServers Clustered, sharing global file external data directory

ii. F5 Load balancer in front of the GeoServers.

Theory:

We ‘think’ this may be triggered by a rest reload command.

We do a reset reload command because we use the rest interface to create new layers. The call is made via one of the clustered GeoServers, and a reload of the other GeoServers in the cluster is required in order for them to become aware of the newly created layers.

It has been our observation that a back-to-back reload command often precedes the issue occurring.

Request:

I attempted to see if this issue has been reported as bug in the Jira system, but did not find a report that I thought was a match.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Is there an existing bug report for this issue?

Has this issue be addressing in a newer release?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,

Chris Moreau

Ciao Geobru,
I have never experience this problem or talked to anyone seeing this
problem. We would need more info in order to reproduce and fix it.
Mind you, you are working of a relatively old and unsupported (by the
community version) hence solving this would be no easy task.

I would recommend testing a newer version of GeoServer and try to make
the issue reproducible.

Regards,
Simone Giannecchini
