-----------------------------------
Summary: Upload to existing featuretype: Behavior is depended on backing store type
Key: GEOS-5056
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5056
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: REST
Reporter: David Winslow
Assignee: Andrea Aime
The REST API documentation (http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-api.html#data-stores) states that the default behavior when uploading to an already-existing featuretype is to append the data. This is the case for PostGIS backends.
For Shapefiles however, the default is to replace the data instead. I haven't checked behavior for other backends yet.
