I can load the original shapefile in QGIS and Arc, and it is a line dataset.
On the GeoServer installation, I have limited access to the server, and had the
Administrator upload that shapefile for me. I had previously published it as a
line layer, only in the past couple days did we find it was trying to publish
as polygon. I am using this shapefile and GeoServer installation to train
others on using GeoServer, so the others have been trying to publish their own
layers in their own workspaces. Some were able to publish it correctly as
lines, only in the past few days did we find it thinking it was poly.

Can you load the shp file into QGIS for example?

I know for a fact that the input shapefile is line, not poly, unless something
or somebody built polys out of it (highly unlikely). For the record, the Edit
Layers shows feature type as MultiPolygon.

Bob,
Can you preview the layer in “Layer Preview”? Are you sure the shapefile
contains line features and not polygons?

I selected EPSG:4326 for projection, and went with default styling during
publishing.

Bob,
Do you define the projection and the styling for the layer in the web
administration interface when you published the layer?

Subject: [Geoserver-users] Line shapefile publishes as polygon
I have a shapefile that is line features which I am trying to publish in
GeoServer (2.4). When I publish it, two strange things occur-
I get the message that it cannot determine the projection, even though there is
a .prj file for it. That’s no problem since I can select that manually.
The real problem is that GeoServer publishes the shapefile as polygon features.
In addition, I cannot see it on screen or style it, but it is still listed as
a valid layer.
How do I correct this?
