Re: [Geoserver-users] /data directory not writeable

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Strange... the error message comes from GeoWebCache:

https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/blob/5e913193ff50a61ef9dd63a87887189352fa6b21/geowebcache/core/src/main/java/org/geowebcache/storage/DefaultStorageFinder.java#L124

but a "blame" shows this code has not been touched in 10 years:

https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/blame/5e913193ff50a61ef9dd63a87887189352fa6b21/geowebcache/core/src/main/java/org/geowebcache/storage/DefaultStorageFinder.java#L124

So yes, maybe a java 11 thing, though I don't know what exactly.

Cheers
Andrea
