[udig-devel] PostGIS connection problems

[Dave S-B]

This seems to be the same behaviour as I am finding with users deleting 
catalog services (e.g. MapGraphic/custom services) - see the "Protecting 
Catalog Services". I tried this with a PostGIS service too - the same 
thing happens. The missing service is recreated correctly when you open 
a project/map containing relevant layers, but the layers which 
previously used this service just can't seem to reference the recreated 
service correctly. With MapGraphic, the resource ID of the layer 
actually gets changed at some point (so it's always going to be pointing 
to the wrong place). With PostGIS layers, the resource ID stays the 
same, but it still can't reference the service/resource correctly. I 
tried looking in the .umap file for clues, but the catalogRef was huge 
and full of too many codes for my brain! The iD was correct though.

I will try and look into this some more on Monday to find the root of 
the problem.
