Many of the limitations on naming in geoserver only show up in specific protocols. As example you can name a layer almost anything but ... - vector layers must letter and be alphanumeric (so they can be valid XML types) - raster layers published as a coverage can start with a number
I assume the workspace documentation is describing limitations on XML prefix (as the workspace name is combined with the feature type name when publishing GML data). I do not see anything on ten characters in the XML namespace specification, perhaps it was a limitation of one of the XML parsers. -- Jody Garnett On Tue, 29 Sep 2020 at 08:49, Peter Smythe <g...@smythe.co.za> wrote: > Hi guys > > In https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/webadmin/workspaces.html, > the documentation says: > > > The workspace name is limited to ten characters and may not contain > space. > > I have never come across this 10 character limitation and wonder whether > it is correct or whether the documentation needs to be updated.
