[Geoserver-users] adding a layer in Geoserver using REST API from the POSTGreSQL Table

Hii

I want to add a new feature layer in POSTGReSQL from open layers.
I got the answer from openlayers forum as...

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/creating-a-new-layer-in-database-td5089934.html

Using openlayers directly you can't do this:
You need to call from openlayers some server-side code (i.e. java or
c# or whatever you wanna use) that, in order:
1. enstablish a connection to postgres db
2. launch a series of sql commands that create a table, fields,
indices and so on
3. call the geoserver rest api and configure geoserver accordingly:

I have created table using the c# code.

Now I want to publish a layer in GeoServer using REST API.

I saw the documentation of GEoSevver. I could not find anything which can
help me do this. I can see the existing layers, workspaces etc. but I cannot
create any layer.

Any help..

Thanks and Regards
Pankaj Bansal

Hi,

Have you read and tried this recipe http://boundlessgeo.com/2012/10/adding-layers-to-geoserver-using-the-rest-api/ ? If it does not work for you, tell where it fails and what happens. Describe then also your environment (Geoserver version, jre version...)

Ciao,
take also a look here:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/examples/index.html

You can find samples to publish, modify and create new resources in geoserver using curl and much more.
Here is the reference manual:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/index.html

Cheers,
Carlo
