The ticket outlines the issue in more depth but the crux of the problem is
that DescribeLayer returns URLs with 'WfsDispatcher' on the end, something
like: http://localhost:8080/geoserver/tiger/poi/wfs/WfsDispatcher?
These URLs are not usable as an exception occurs noting that the service
can't be found or operation doesn't exist. The issue occurs with both
{workspace} and {workspace}/{layer} virtual services.
The problem occurs here:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/ows/src/main/java/org/geoserver/ows/Dispatcher.java#L369
The code only looks for a single slash...
I attempted a fix in the Dispatcher and it will work for URLs of the format
{workspace}/{layer} but this fails with the {workspace} only approach as
the `context` is computed as {workspace}/wfs and the `path` is
WfsDispatcher. This algorithm is ambiguous unless it 'knows' about
'WfsDispatcher'.
It seems like potential solutions are:
1) remove WfsDispatcher from the DescribeLayer response (the code even
notes this:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/wms/src/main/java/org/geoserver/wms/describelayer/DescribeLayerTransformer.java#L153).
The String WfsDispatcher only appears a few times throughout the
codebase.
2) and/or (if desired for backward compatibility) make the Dispatcher
knowledgeable about this specific type of URL (ending w/ WfsDispatcher) and
ignore the last path component
Clear as mud?
Thoughts?
