After Richard’s reply I decided to start from scratch using a fresh data 
directory from the geoserver 2.6.2 war. Deleted all demo workspaces and copied 
our workspaces from the old data directory. Restarted geoserver and all 
previously mentioned problems have vanished. I can preview layers again and 
delete layers. Yay!

Thanks guys for the help and putting me in the right direction!

Hi Roel,

if I remember correct I had the same problem upgrading to 2.6
(and the wicket stacktraces are not very helpfull)

by 'merging/overwriting' my external data directory with the 2.6 data
directory I managed to apparently get stuff back which were
needed/changed(?) in wicket/templates. (maybe vars defined in compiled
jsp pages or so??)
But I lost my 'default polygon/point styles' because of this copy for
example, giving problems with layers which used those.

I lost some confidence in the 'upgrading'-scenario's of Geoserver
because of this. IF working with a external data directory, things
should not brake when you upgrade. I can imagine that there is some new
stuff needed (templates, variables whatever), but it would be nice if
you can do an 'easy' upgrade of your external data dir then.

GeoServer upgrades are indeed meant to be uneventful, and all the tests
we run in GeoServer are actually running against older versions of data 
directory
syntaxes (we just never needed to upgrade them to the current content of
the xml files.).

However, if people do not provide reproducible ways to trigger the problems,
there is nothing we can do to fix them

Personally I haven't encountered problems in normal project activity

Cheers
Andrea
