Thanks Ben,
Putting the absolute path worked without the chmod:
<AttributeMapping>
<targetAttribute>om:observedProperty</targetAttribute>
<ClientProperty>
<name>xlink:href</name>
<value>Vocab(METHOD, 'C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat
8.0\webapps\geoserver\data\workspaces\om\OM_Observation\mapping.properties')</value>
</ClientProperty>
</AttributeMapping>
Can you report this as a bug change request for me?
Cheers

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] app-schema mapping.properties file location
Bruce,
in a nutshell: ugly and not as documented, but it should work if you use an
absolute path.
The documentation claims that the properties file can be an absolute path or
relative to the mapping file, but I had a look in the implementation and I see
no evidence of handling of paths relative to the mapping file:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/app-schema/cql-functions.html
Even the test coverage is relative to the home directory of the GeoTools
module. Whatever you pass as the properties file "URI" (and it is not a
URI) is used raw as a path; if relative it is relative to the current working
directory of the process (not useful), and if absolute it is the absolute path
on the filesystem (ugly but workable).
For example, if GeoServer is running in Tomcat 7 on Debian and you put the
mapping file in the root of the data directory, you might have something like
this:
<OCQL>Vocab(ABBREVIATION,
'/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver/data/mapping.properties')</OCQL>
You may also need to change the permissions to make sure Tomcat can read the
file:
chmod 644 /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver/data/mapping.properties
Kind regards,
Ben.
