Dear all,

I have an Oracle table containing a set of multipolygons which I can 
successfully connect to from GeoServer; when I look at the relevant resource 
configuration table, the feature "type" as displayed is given as 
"multipoloygon" and the layer/s display correctly. However there are some 
columns in that table that I do not wish to publish, plus others in ancillary 
tables which I wish to add, so I created an Oracle "view" which is a join of 
the relevant fields (only) from 3 tables. However now when I attempt to connect 
the view to GeoServer, the displayed feature "type" has now changed from 
"multipolygon" to simply "geometry" and the content does not display correctly 
(just small fragments of the content instead of the full multipolygon).

Initially I could not get anything to display at all, however I fixed this by 
making a new entry in the Oracle table USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA giving the 
relevant values for the geometry column in the named view in addition to the 
pre-existing entry for the same column in the base table.

Regarding the non-geometry columns, they are coming through fine with their 
feature types as defined in the base tables (i.e. Strings and BigDecimals), it 
seems to be only the geometry column that is not making it through the "view" 
process for some reason.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the "view" to work as an alternative to 
connecting directly to the base table would be appreciated.

Regards
