Hi Andrea,

I have opened an issue: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-8366

When this is fixed, I’ll also check another issue which I reported in my 
original mail on Friday, since I suspect it is related. Maybe it is not, but it 
won’t hurt to check what happens when the Geopackage is located in the data dir 
itself, and not in one of its subdirs.

And lastly, I’ve also found a weird issue when putting my geopackage in the 
Geoserver data dir itself (/data, not mounted as a Docker volume), and adding 
it as a store. The database setting at the connection parameters is just 
“file:mossel.gpkg”. When clicking Save, I’m getting an overview of the layers I 
wish to publish, but it is showing no layers. I’m also not seeing any errors. 
When adding a new layer and selecting the geopackage store, I’m also getting an 
empty list of layers. I could provide a screenshot if necessary. I’m able to 
reproduce this issue on a Windows 7 machine with the standard Geoserver 2.12.0 
installation, and putting the geopackage in the data dir. (Because the data dir 
is still in c:\program files (standard), I had to start Geoserver as 
administrator, because the JDBC driver needs write access to this dir.)


Regards,

Frank Steggink

Hi Frank,
I've verified, indeed a reference to a geopackage inside the data directory 
does not work,
it only works using an absolute reference for the moment.

Could you open a bug report for it?

Cheers
Andrea

Hi,

Last Friday I’ve sent an e-mail about an issue when adding a Geopackage file as 
a data store in Geoserver. I’m using Geoserver 2.12.0 in combination with 
Tomcat 8.5.20 on a Debian Jessie machine running in a Docker container. This is 
the relevant part from my mail:

First of all, I’m having difficulties adding a new geopackage store. I’m adding 
a new datastore by just specifying the data source name and the database file 
(SQLite file), using the file browser. In the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR (which is at 
/data in my container) I’ve created a subdirectory, also called “data”, which 
is mounted as a volume from the host into my Docker container. Because it is a 
subdirectory of the Geserver data dir, I’m getting the following relative path: 
file:data/mossel.gpkg. Since there are no other mandatory parameters (the 
namespace comes from my workspace), I just click “Save”, but the following 
error message appears: Error creating data store, check the parameters. Error 
message: Unable to obtain connection: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory 
(path to 'data/mossel.gpkg': '/usr/local/tomcat/data' does not exist). The 
directory /usr/local/tomcat is the Tomcat (Catalina) base dir. When creating a 
symbolic link from /usr/local/tomcat to /data/data (by executing the command ln 
-s /data/data from within /usr/local/tomcat), I’m not getting this error 
message anymore. So I’m fairly certain that this issue is not caused by my 
particular setup. My guess is that when the connection to the SQLite database 
is being set up, the relative path is not prefixed by the Geoserver data dir.

I have reproduced this issue on a Ubuntu Xenial VM using Geoserver 2.12.0 
running on Tomcat 8.5.23. The result is nearly the same. My data dir is now 
/opt/geoserver/data, catalina base dir is /opt/tomcat, and my geopackage file 
is /opt/geoserver/data/data/mossel.gpkg. When adding this file as a datastore 
(file:data/mossel.gpkg), I’m getting the following exception: Error creating 
data store, check the parameters. Error message: Unable to obtain connection: 
Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (path to 'data/mossel.gpkg': '/data' 
does not exist)
Apparently it is expecting a dir /data on my host, so I created a symlink again 
(executed in the root dir: sudo ln -s /opt/geoserver/data/data), and I’m able 
to load this file. The major difference, apart from not using Docker, is that 
I’m running Tomcat as a service. That is probably the reason that the root dir 
is seen as the root path, and not the Tomcat dir.

With kind regards,

Frank Steggink
