[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.

I cannot preview it in Layer Preview- neither with OpenLayers nor any other client.

Re: [Geoserver-users] Line shapefile publishes as polygon
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.
