Can't upload layer with SVG icon point style

[thatbudakguy]

Dragging a layer with an SVG icon style to the "layers" listing throws a 404 error:

Error uploading SVG icon to GeoServer: 404 Client Error: Not Found 
Traceback (most recent call last):

Apparently you need to have the /geoserver/app/api/icons endpoint (https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/blob/master/geoserver/webapp/src/main/java/com/boundlessgeo/geoserver/api/controllers/IconController.java) that provides the Icons API (https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/wiki/Icons-API) which seems to only be available in the Boundless suite product (and not as a geoserver extension)

Hello, i've juste sent a pull request that may resolve this issue. I'm uploading icons using the geoserver standard API

@volaya @luipir I can confirm that on stock Geoserver the above error is thrown while on Boundless Suite the import goes well. I guess that the error would be better be caught to return a better warning.

[volaya]

plain geoserver does not support svg upload. That's a suite-only thing I agree that we should deal with that more gracefully

@volaya plain geoserver has a rest/resource/styles services which is equivalent to app/api/icons of Boundless Suite service. I've changed the service used in uploadIcons function in my pull request and i think you've just merged it in #51 So this error will not appear any more if i'm correct

[gioman]

@volaya is the SVG file defined in QGIS supposed to be automatically uploaded to the server and applied in the resulting SLD style?

[volaya]

@ddespres I was not aware of that. Great news. Will take a look at the PR and merge it

@gioman Yes, if the style uses SVG icons, the icons are uploaded. That is the problem now, that the upload is only available for suite geoserver, since standard geoserver didnt have that capability. Hopefully with the new version and this PR that @ddespres wrote, we will fix that :-)

[volaya]

Ah, I had already merged the PR :-)

Thanks again, @ddespres !

[ddespres]

No problem, that wasn't a big work ;-)

@volaya Hi Victor, thanks for the feedback. It works if the layer is loaded back as WMS, but if loaded as WFS the SVG symbol apparently fails to load and in QGIS canvas is replaced with the "?" one. Not sure anyway if this is also supposed to work for WFS.

[volaya]

good catch. I guess the icon has to be downloaded back, but that is not implemented at the moment I guess we can tag it as a limitation, adding it to the documentation, for now
