Confusing error handling when adding vector data store
------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2969
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2969
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha2
Environment: Ubuntu Jaunty
Reporter: Tim Coulter
Assignee: Andrea Aime
When adding a Vector data store with erroneous data, Geoserver returns
confusing error messages that do not aide the user in diagnosing the problem.
Note: This is a 'batch' bug report. I'll break them up into multiple bugs if
desired.
To reproduce the following errors, first perform the following:
1) Login to Geoserver and click the "Stores" link on the left hand side of the
page. You should be presented with a list of stores already registered in
Geoserver.
2) Scroll down to the bottom of this page, and choose a workspace in the
dropdown box titled "Add new store into workspace". I chose the 'topp'
workspace.
3) After being shown the list of store types, choose the "Directory of spatial
files" at the top of the page. You should now be shown the page containing the
confusing error handling.
Error "Field 'paramValue' is required.":
1) After performing the steps above, leave the "Data source name" blank, the
"URL" blank or the "namespace" blank, and click 'Save'. For each, you should be
shown the error "Field 'paramValue' is required." (As opposed to "URL is
required.")
Url must have a slash at the end ("Error creating data store, check the
parameters. Error message: null")
1) After performing the steps above, enter "http://www.google.com"; in the URL
field, and enter valid data in all of the other fields.
2) Click save. Notice you are given the error: "Error creating data store,
check the parameters. Error message: null"
3) Add a '/' at the end of the URL (making it "http://www.google.com/";) and
click save. Notice that the store is created successfully.
