Hello,

I was wondering if Geoserver has any GeoRSS or RSS feed that updates any time new coverages are added/removed from the list of coverages/layers from within Geoserver.

Not at the moment no. It would be relatively straight forward though. Basically just a catalog listener which updates a feed, and a way for client to get at the feed. We did some similar stuff for the geosync module, but that was for listening to WFS transactions. Same approach though.

I need to write a client that updates whenever new coverages are added to Geoserver…so I’m wondering if I would be stuck polling the WMS or GeoRSS…or if there’s another mechanism I can use to get notified when new coverages/layers are available.

It would be great if you could implement such a feed for geoserver. Contributions welcome.
