[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-979) Use directory datastore in 'release' configuration

Use directory datastore in 'release' configuration
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-979
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-979
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0-RC2
            Reporter: Chris Holmes
         Assigned To: Chris Holmes
             Fix For: 1.5.0-RC3, 1.6.0-beta1

Now that we've got the directory data store working, we should be able to leverage to make configuration even easier.

We already have a 'shapefiles' directory in the default release data directory. So instead of defining it as a single shapefile datastore, we should define that directory as a data directory of shapefiles. This simplifies our installation instructions, since we can tell people to simply copy their shapefiles to that directory, hit load (hopefully that works, if not I guess have them copy in before they start GeoServer) and then edit the featureType.
