I don't recommend just dropping the geonode-geoserver-ext JAR into a standard GeoServer installation. The WAR file that we distribute has some modifications beyond just adding the geoserver-geonode-ext JAR. WIthout them, it is non-deterministic whether or not the GeoNode integration with the GeoServer security system actually takes effect. (Actually, it used to be non-deterministic but I think now it just doesn't work.)
The GeoNode WAR is built from GeoServer nightly jars and has all bugfixes that have gone into GeoServer 2.1.3. I also put together a branch to bring GeoNode up to the GeoServer 2.2 series: https://github.com/dwins/geonode/tree/geoserver-2.2 Please try one of those instead of trying to "geonode-ize" a regular GeoServer. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 3:57 PM, Jeffrey Johnson <[email protected]>wrote: > I've had good luck building geoserver straight from a trunk checkout > and after deploying the war, just adding the geoserver-geonode-ext.jar > into the WEB-INF/lib directory and restarting the servlet container. > In fact, I did it specifically to work with cascaded layers. > > Matthew, have you checked out my remote_services branch? > https://github.com/jj0hns0n/geonode/tree/remote_services It is the > first set of steps toward supporting cascaded layers directly in > GeoNode.
