Is it possible to write a code in java platform, generate a JAR file, put that jar file under a geoserver (installed under say tomcat), and have that store appear in the geoserver web UI such that
the features it provides can be composed into layer sets?
I’ve been swirling around in geotools and geoserver documentation APIs and examples for days and days now, but i can’t for the life of me figure out how to do this. i don’t know if my mental model of how this should work is wrong,
or if there is more configuration i need to provide to geoserver, or one of a thousand other possible mistakes i could be making, so i’m backing up and challenging my basic assumptions.
If you are attending FOSS4G this year I have an intermediate geotools workshop which is covering exactly this question
The quick answer is your jar needs to include an file in META-INF/services documenting what interface you are implementing for GeoServer to use Each line of this file lists a class that implements this interface.
