[Geoserver-users] Creating a layer through REST API

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hey,

Is it possible to publish a layer through the REST API (GeoServer 2.9.1)?
according to the documentation the POST method is not allowed.
I succeeded creating a workspace and a store but publishing a layers is left now :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
take a look at Geoserver REST API examples
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/examples/curl.html

there are a few examples about uploading shape file or link a file system file/
directory in geoserver.

Cheers

I read the samples and there is no layer publishing example. All the samples
are dealing with creating stores or using existing layers.

According to the documentation, POST method for Layers as a status code 405
(method is not allowed):
<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/file/n5284207/Capture.jpg&gt;

I'll appreciate your help.

Best regards.

This is what I understand you are looking for, correct me if I misunderstood:

http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/examples/curl.html#uploading-a-shapefile

Talking about your screenshot, you can't post on rest/layers but you have to
work on a specific store and filename.
In the example I suggest, 'file.shp' is the name you want to call the layer you
upload

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/acme/datastores/roads/file.shp

The url may be divided in few parts:

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/acme: Acme is the workspace
you want to use, you need to create it manually;

/datastores/roads: roads is the name of the datastore geoserver will create to
keep your file

/file.shp: the name of the featuretype you will see on geoserver

I hope this can help you.
