Some of the restrictions are protocol specific and I am not aware of the OGC documenting everything in one spot.
For example: - WFS requires that layer names be good XML types (so you cannot start with a number). Technically you may still be able to generate GeoJSON but not XML output ... - WCS has no such XML based restriction so having layers based the date of an orthophoto is fine... - We have also run into trouble with folks using ":" in a layer name (as we often use this character to serrate out <workspace>:<layer name> Does that help? -- Jody Garnett On Thu, 2 May 2019 at 02:37, Rui Maciel <rui.mac...@spinworks.pt> wrote: > While browsing through GeoServer 2.15.1 release notes I've stumbled on a > bug report (GEOS-9054 <https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-9054>) > that mentions that GeoServer's REST API cannot handle certain characters in > the names of some GeoServer objects such as layers and feature types > > > Here's a link to the bug report: > > > https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-9054 > > > Does anyone know if these naming restrictions are documented?
