Has anyone tried creating a spatial view on an XY table in MS SQL Server,
so it can be exposed via GeoServer?

We are not having any luck with this.  What we have done is:

1) Define a spatial view:

CREATE VIEW UDO_Fuel_Cache_SVW AS

SELECT

                ID,

   Latitude,

   Longitude,

   Geographic,

   Fuel_Type,

   Updated,

   Full_Barrels,

   Partial_Barrels,

   Empty_Barrels,

   Owner,

   ContactPhone,

   Comments,

   FireCentre,

   FireZone,

   geography::STGeomFromText('POINT('+convert(varchar(20),Longitude)+' '+
convert(varchar(20),Latitude)+')',4326) AS Geom

FROM Incident.dbo.UDO_Fuel_Cache


2) Define a geometry metadata table:

CREATE TABLE GEOMETRY_COLUMNS(

   F_TABLE_SCHEMA VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,

   F_TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,

   F_GEOMETRY_COLUMN VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,

   COORD_DIMENSION INTEGER,

   SRID INTEGER NOT NULL,

   TYPE VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,

   UNIQUE(F_TABLE_SCHEMA, F_TABLE_NAME, F_GEOMETRY_COLUMN),

   CHECK(TYPE IN ('POINT','LINE', 'POLYGON', 'COLLECTION', 'MULTIPOINT',
'MULTILINE', 'MULTIPOLYGON', 'GEOMETRY') ));

go

INSERT INTO GEOMETRY_COLUMNS

( F_TABLE_SCHEMA, F_TABLE_NAME,   F_GEOMETRY_COLUMN, COORD_DIMENSION, SRID,
TYPE )

VALUES ('', 'UDO_Fuel_Cache_SVW', 'Geom', 2, 4326, 'POINT');


3) Configure the SQL Server Store to refer to GEOMETRY_COLUMNS
4) Configure the layer (I hope correctly).  The layer featuretype listing
shows a column  Geom of type byte[] - which doesn't seem promising.

When trying to view the layer, we get the error:

2017-02-06 09:44:47,833 ERROR [org.geotools.jdbc] - Failed to execute
statement SELECT FROM "UDO_Fuel_Cache_SVW"
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Incorrect syntax near the
keyword 'FROM'.
