Geofence not working on 26.0 release (2.28.x-georchestra-geofence)

[Dallery]

Hi,

I have just upgraded my geOrchestra installation from 24.x to 26.0 and I am using Geofence with Geoserver.

The docker-compose.yml file associated with the feat: init docker 26 commit specifies that version 2.28.4-georchestra-00 should be used.

I therefore changed the relevant line to use the GeoFence image named 2.28.4-georchestra-00-geofence (like i saw on hub.docker), and I updated the other configuration elements according to the documentation, as I had previously done for version 24.x.

After starting the container, I got a 503 error on my geoserver website. The logs contained the following message Cannot load JDBC driver class 'org.h2.Driver' except that i use the same configuration like here : https://github.com/georchestra/datadir/blob/docker-26.0/geoserver/geofence/geofence-datasource-ovr.properties

However, the file located at /etc/georchestra/geoserver/geofence/geofence-datasource-ovr.properties in my geoserver container was indeed the same as the one provided in config/geoserver/geofence/geofence-datasource-ovr.properties.

It seems 2.28.4-georchestra-00-geofence image does not take this configuration file into account and prefer use the H2 default configuration.

As a result, I switched to the GeoServer version used in the 26.0 release, namely 2.28.2-georchestra-geofence.

GeoServer then started correctly with the same configuration file, il just changed the name of image in docker-compose.yml, and the 503 error disappeared.

However, although I can access the GeoFence page on my geoserver, I cannot access the GeoFence Rules page or the Administration Rules GeoFence page. I receive the following message:

org.apache.wicket.WicketRuntimeException: Can't instantiate page using constructor 'public org.geoserver.geofence.server.web.GeofenceServerPage()'. An exception has been thrown during construction!

So, is there an issue with the GeoServer 2.28.x GeoFence images, or did something change between the 24.x and 26.x releases that I need to adapt in order to get GeoFence working properly?
