Description

And another showstopper: I can't seem to add Feature Types. After creating an Oracle DataStore I switch to the FeatureTypes tab. The combo box for FeatureTypeName is empty (should this really be a combo box??) and if I click new I get the following stack trace:

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1480)
at org.vfny.geoserver.action.data.DataFeatureTypesNewAction.execute(DataFeatureTypesNewAction.java:69)
at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:484)
at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:274)

I'll add this to Jira when there is a new category for it, but for now do you know why this is happening?

My guess for your problem is that you need to select a FeatureType from the DataStore in order to add. If the list of FeatureTypes is empty your DataStore may not be set up correctly? Do you get a value back from a call to OracleDataStore.getTypeNames()? You should be able to tell if your OracleDataStore worked by hitting submit (one cannot switch directly to FeatureTypes). If submit comes back with out errors everything should be okay.

This was the usual - forgot to install the oracle jars in the lib directory kind of issue.

This is an open bug because the Oracle dataStore should not return true for canProcess when the correct jars are not available.

I will make a gt2 jira task for this, and close this bug. Recent updates to the reporting of errors by GeoServer will at least catch these problems early and not advertise FeatureTypes that cannot actually be used.

GEOT-89 describes OracleDataStore.canProcess( Map ) returning true even when the required JDBC Driver is not present.

Decided not to bundle the jar until this problem is fixed
Will prevent user frustration.
