[Geoserver-users] Forwarded mail about REST and multiple SLD

Hi,

I forward the mail from Dr Frank Erjiang Fu who has problems with joining to the mailing list.

-Jukka Rahkonen-

I subscripted to the mailing list week ago but for some reason I can't post email to the mailing list (being held as post by non-member). I receive the posts from the mailing list but cant post my own.
I wonder whether you know the administrator of the mailing list? I also wonder whether you have any advice to my question. See my origin post below:

Hello,

This is my first post in this mailing list.

We are trying to deploy GeoServer to a production environment. We would like to use the REST API to configure the layer and layer groups. I have been able to achieve most of things we want but one.

Some of our layers need to link to multiple SLD files. There are no problems to assign the defaultStyle to a layer but I could not find any documentation how the second/third SLD can be linked to a layer by using the REST method.

Anyone could give me a clue? Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for your time.
Sorry if any trouble about this email.

Dr. Frank Erjiang Fu,

This is how we have used the REST API to associate multiple styles using SOAPUI to test/configure.

Example endpoint
https://${#Global#geoserverHostAndPort}/geoserver/rest/layers/${#Project#workspace}:${#Project#layername}

PUT the following to your REST endpoint as text/xml

<layer>
  <defaultStyle>
    <name>burg</name>
  </defaultStyle>
  <styles>
    <style>
      <name>giant_polygon</name>
    </style>
    <style>
      <name>point</name>
    </style>
    <style>
      <name>line</name>
    </style>
  </styles>
<enabled>true</enabled>
  <resource class="featureType">
    <name>${#Project#layername}</name>
  </resource>
</layer>
