Thankyou Mauro and Andrea - your explanations of the issue made me see it 
clearer!

I have changed the issue in JIRA to a possible improvement in documentation or 
the user interface :) Given time I might even submit a suggestion to update of 
the documentation.

Hi Ragnvald,

<[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>:
Problem solved -  or at least avoided. Two ways potentially leads to the 
glorious access to MSSQL spatial based layers. Both starts with the user 
choosing "Add a new resource", after that I choose the relevant data store from 
the drop down list. Next is one of these two:


1)      "Configure new SQL view..."

2)      Press "Publish"

The last option (2) opens the layer definition dialogue and shows "Reload 
feature type  ...". The first one (1) starts with letting me write a SQL query. 
This one works.

I am running geoserver on a windows computer with "JVM Version: Oracle 
Corporation: 1.7.0_17 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM)".

I suspect this is a windows only issue.

Bug filed in JIRA: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6342


I think there is a misunderstanding here: the option 1 and 2 are quite 
different in scope: the "Configure new SQL  view" allows you to publish a 
"virtual table" from your database built using a sql query, while the second 
one is used to publish an existing database table "as is", so also the 
configuration UI is different for the layers built using one of the two methods.

With the first one you get an "Edit SQL View" link that allows you to define 
the sql for the virtual table, for the second one you cannot define a sql 
query, you only get a "Reload feature type..." that simply reads the table 
fields and properties from the database and synchronizes the internal cache.
So, as it is usually said: "it's not a bug, it's a feature" :-).

Cheers,
Mauro Bartolomeoli
