[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-4596) RESTConfig doesn't auto-configure Coverages (SRS/Bounds) like it does with FeatureTypes/WMS

RESTConfig doesn't auto-configure Coverages (SRS/Bounds) like it does with FeatureTypes/WMS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-4596
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4596
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Robert Coup
            Assignee: Justin Deoliveira

If you do a POST to {{/rest/workspaces/foo/coveragestores.json}}:

{code}
{
  "coverageStore": {
    "name": "myCoverage",
    "workspace": {
      "name": "foo"
    },
    "type": "ImagePyramid",
    "enabled": true,
    "url": "/path/to/my/pyramid"
  }
}
{code}

and then a second POST to {{/rest/workspaces/foo/coveragestores/myCoverage/coverages.json}} to create the coverage:

{code}
{
  "coverage": {
    "name": "myCoverage",
    "nativeName": "myCoverage",
    "title": "My Coverage",
    "abstract": "Some description",
    "srs": "EPSG:2193",
    "projectionPolicy": "FORCE_DECLARED",
    "enabled": true,
    "nativeFormat": "ImagePyramid",
    "defaultInterpolationMethod": "bilinear",
    "parameters": {
        "entry": [{
            "string": ["AllowMultithreading", True]
        }]
    },
    "requestSRS": {
        "string": "EPSG:2193"
    },
    "responseSRS": {
        "string": "EPSG:2193"
    }
  }
}
{code}

The coverage creates fine, but the Native/LatLon bounds are not set -- which then crashes (eg. GetCapabilities) requests and generally does bad things. Obviously I can specify them manually, but it'd be miles better if GeoServer auto-calculated them like it does in the UI. The same POSTs work fine for Feature Types and the bounds are auto-calculated.

Looking at the code, there are {{CatalogBuilder.initFeatureType()}} and {{CatalogBuilder.initWMSLayer()}} methods which do this auto-detection, but the same thing doesn't occur for coverages. {{CatalogBuilder.buildCoverage(AbstractGridCoverage2DReader reader, Map customParameters)}} does it, but is only called for PUT requests which include an attached file, not for POST requests.

Thoughts?
