[Geoserver-users] How to get layer list of layers that are unpublished?

Hi

I’m stuck.

How do you get a list of layer resource objects that unpublished? catalog.py provides get_layers and get_resources that return layers that are published but not the unpublished layers in a datastore.

I could list all the layers (publish and unpublished) in a datastore through geoserver interface but wms/wfs/wcs and even rest does not

The wms/wfs/wcs services can return layer information in xml but still no layers that are unpublished. I could understand why that is in this case since it is publish facing but I don’t know why REST services have this problem as well.

I have searched a lot of forum with no luck.

Did anyone manage to find a solution for this?

I’ve been using geoserver with python extension gsconfig library for a while now. Almost everything works as it should be. While there are little things like publish raster images are problematic, there is still workaround that isn’t written into the catalog.py class.

But there is this problem and I have no idea how to get around.

ps.
my apologies for a confusing post earlier. I was careful and wrote published instead of unpublished… twice… sorry

If they are "unpublished", then no wms/wfs/wcs service exist for them. An "unpublished" OGC service doesnt make sense. There is not even concept of datastore of standard, only namespace. Using Datastore is merely how Geoserver has chosen to implement it.

However, the Geoserver REST interface can do it:
curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XGET -H "Accept: text/xml" http://
localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/myworkspace/datastores/mydatastore/featuretypes?list
=available
Note the values you can choose for the parameter in
