Geonetwork map area not working

[kalxas]

From a first look it seems that it has to do with internal Geoserver. Perhaps an openjdk7 issue (?)

The exception in GeoServer log is:

I'm not sure why this is happening, but it's related to GWC. What I suggest is to turn off GWC.

What I did and tested on the beta1 on virtual box:

# Goto GN folder
cd /usr/lib/geonetwork/web

# Unzip GeoServer war
mkdir geoserver
mv geoserver.war geoserver/.
cd geoserver/
unzip geoserver.war

# Remove GWC
cd WEB-INF/lib
rm geowebcache-1.2.2.jar
rm gwc-2.0.2.jar
rm web-gwc-2.0.2.jar
cd ../../

# Rebuild the war
rm geoserver.war
zip -r geoserver.war *
mv geoserver.war ../.

# Clean
cd ..
rm -fr geoserver


# And GeoNetwork start with a working background map.
