Robert, because I've just done it I can give you the ultimative answer (bloody reorganisations, needed your question so that I finally did it):
1 Safety copy of your data directory. 2 Create new namespace, which will create a workspace.xml and a namespace.xml with their ids. They are important for you. Don’t delete the old namespace for the time being even if you don’t need it. 3 Shut geoserver down 4 Move complete datastore(s) from workspaces/old to workspaces/new (don’t copy) 5 Global exchange in workspaces/new from: <id>NamespaceInfoImpl—xxxxxxxxcx_old_id:-xxxx</id> to <id>NamespaceInfoImpl-- xxxxxxxxcx_new_id:-xxxx</id> which you find in the old and new namespace.xml 6 Go to your datastores and exchange (these are probably only a few in your datastore.xml’s, so you might do this manually ) : <id>WorkspaceInfoImpl-- xxxxxxxxcx_old_id:-xxxx</id> to <id>WorkspaceInfoImpl-- xxxxxxxxcx_new_id:-xxxx</id> which you find in your old and new workspace.xml 7 datastore.xml or xml's change the <namespace> to the new namespace if the namespace has a new URI: …….. <entry key="namespace">http://dse.vic.gov.au</entry> ……… 8 Restart and be merry Cheers Christian ----- ____________________________ Dr Christian Maul Project Manager Information Services Branch Department of Sustainability and Environment Level13, Marland House, 570 Bourke Street Melbourne 3000 PO Box 500, East Melbourne Vic 3002 Telephone: +61-3-8636 2325 Telefax: +61-3-8636 2813 -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/How-to-change-workspace-of-existing-layers-tp5004193p5004476.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
