Having two instances of GeoServer and postGIS running on two servers, I have run into a peculiar problem. When I transfer the same dataset to both servers, one is able to show the data without problems while the other gives a "String index out of range" ERROR when I view the data.
The easiest way to notice the error is through the "Layer preview", through the OpenLayers preview I can see the structure, but when I click on a feature, I get
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 String index out of range: -1
instead of the data for this particular feature. Both instances are to my knowledge identical (e.g., software versions, layer settings, geometry settings) so I'm quite baffled.
The error log tells me very little:
