[Geoserver-devel] Adding a new layer to the catalog for testing

I’m struggling to work out how I go from a DataStore (or just a file) to a layer in the catalog I can make a WFS request from. The manual page will voluminous doesn’t currently mention this and I can’t find an example of a test doing it either which probably means I’m on the wrong path :slight_smile:

Can anyone enlighten me?

Datastore is supposed to isolate the web service from individual files; but you can probable figure it out anyways.

  1. Go through the dataStores looking at the connection parameters for the file name in question (probably represented as a file URL
  2. Once located you can check the datastore for its resources (should be FeatureTypes, or CoverageTypes, or …)
  3. The resource name is the same as the layer name (we never did allow a resource to publish more than one layer although the separation is in the data model)

I’m not sure that works for what I’m trying to do.

I need to add a shapefile to the catalog so I can make a WFS request against it. I can’t find any tests that add more than a property file to the catalog so I’m stuck.

I cannot find an example in the existing tests, so I guess it should be done like GUI/REST do, in the “onSetup” method of a test…
that is, get a CatalogBuilder, and then use it to build one by one the StoreInfo, FeatureTypeInfo and LayerInfo.

WfsRemoteStoreTest follows the process in order to add a WFS cascading store and layer, you can mimic it for the shapefile case.
