Exception when trying to edit a layer using GSLFE with borken DB connection #136

Closed anguss00 closed 7 years ago

Steps to reproduce: Run up Geoserver in vagrant with borken DB connection (i.e the default one). Try to edit a layer using Layer Filters Editor.

Observed behaviour: Stacktrace complaining about wicket hierarchy issues.

Expected behaviour: Decent error handling.

I spent some time on this and realised I am trapped by running this with Jetty. Having no server context causes an error in lookupGeoServerDataDirectory.java.

It seems we are stuck with stack traces in the filter pages, however the bug is to show readable messages such as borken DB connections in the trace.

In this case, Geoserver would have disabled layers which have ~~broken~~ borken db connections on startup and they would not be able to be accessed elsewhere in Geoserver. The layer filter extension shouldn't try to display disabled layers!
