RE: [Geoserver-users] v1.3.0

Randy_George1 · January 27, 2006, 10:37pm

Hi,

Congratulations on 1.3 release!

I’ve downloaded 1.3 as a .war deployed to Tomcat 5.5.12 on Windows 2003.

Here is some feedback:

On initial start up there were a series of logged warnings and errors.

WARNING: Could not aquire PostGIS spatial database:org.geotools.data.DataSourceException: Connection failed:org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: A connection error has occurred: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: password authentication failed for user “postgres”

I believe it is expecting to connect to a PostGIS with a generic password using the datastore definition for a localPostGIS:

Namespace: topp

Db: dcmms

If I edit the localpostgis datastore or delete and redeploy the errors no longer occur…

Followed by a series of Severe events like:

SEVERE: Attempting to create file:D:\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\geoserver\data\plugIns\Gazetteer.xml

Jan 27, 2006 10:11:35 AM org.vfny.geoserver.global.xml.XMLConfigWriter$WriterUtils initFile

These also disappeared after removing the datastore for localPostGIS

In addition

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class org.vfny.geoserver.servlets.FreefsLog can not access a member of class org.geotools.data.arcsde.ConnectionPoolFactory with modifiers “public static synchronized”

I wonder if there is a default arcsde lurking in the datastores? There it is ‘testSDE’ This probably won’t work for a generic deployment.

I noticed a z3950-geo.map file. Does 1.3 have a z3950 catalogue service?
I notice the Server config: write logs to file logs/geoserver.log doesn’t appear to work even when enabled?

Now after a couple of Tomcat restarts it is working? But after the next restart it no longer works again?

demos.

WMS Example works great!

Previews most work very well big improvement from previous version!

tiger:tiger_roads is blank?

tiger:giant_polygon is blank

Sample Request

WFS describefeaturetype.xml etc

Note that http://localhost/geoserver/wfs/GetCapabilities works fine just not the TestWfsPost post body? Perhaps I am missing a required library?

I am downloading the current svn for TestWfsPost 1.3 to see where I’m in trouble.

One last question what is status of ComplexDatastore? Will that be available in the 1.4 release?

Thanks

I've downloaded 1.3 as a .war deployed to Tomcat 5.5.12 on

I wonder if there is a default arcsde lurking in the datastores? There it is
'testSDE' This probably won't work for a generic deployment.

Thanks for the feedback, this got missed despite Chris reminding me about it :). I plant to fix this and upload a new 1.3.0. Good thing i havent made the official announcement yet

2) I noticed a z3950-geo.map file. Does 1.3 have a z3950 catalogue service?

Kind of, its not really maintained, we pretty much just tell people to use geonetwork, they have the real deal.

3) I notice the Server config: write logs to file logs/geoserver.log doesn't
appear to work even when enabled?

Hmm, i am going to have to take a look at these a little closer.

Yup, its pretty much the focus of the 1.4 stream of development.

Thanks

Thanks Randy, this feedback has been great!!
