[Geoserver-users] Creating a new DataStore and FeatureType over HTTP

Hi

I'm working with geoserver 1.7.2 over windows vista.
I'm trying to create a new datastore from my JAVA code using http connection
(HttpURLConnection).
I read "Alternative for reloading the Geoserver catalog":

(
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Alternative+for+reloading+the+Geoserver+catalog
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Alternative+for+reloading+the+Geoserver+catalog
)

I couldn't create a new workspace so i didn't understand how to move on...
The other example there (register_featureType) is in php and i don't know
how to convert it to java.
It has to be over HTTP (because my program is running over JBOSS and not
Spring), i don't want
to develop extentions or plugins to geoserver and i don't want to use the
GUI (it needs to be dynamic).
Is there any tutorial or step by step guide on how to do it?

Thanks, Yoel Motola

As of 1.7.3 there is a REST api extension for these types of operations:

http://gridlock.openplans.org/geoserver/1.7.x/doc/user/extensions/rest/

The examples illustrate making the calls with cURL, but they should be relatively straight forward to port to Java.
