[Geoserver-users] Loading Data into GeoServer/GeoWebCache sans the Import Data

I am using the integrated installation of GeoServer and GeoWebCache (not the suite). Consequently, I do not see the Import Data option in the main Administration menu. Question: How do I upload a coverage of hundreds of geotiffs all at once, such that they can be properly server via the WMS?

Thanks!

You'll have to write your own script using the REST configuration api.
The importer is being contributed to GeoServer btw, but it will take some
more time before it
becomes an official extension.
Justin (cc'ed), do you know what timeframe are we looking at?

Is there no other solution to getting a collection of GeoTiffs into GeoServer without using REST or the Import Data feature (available only in the Suite)?

None. Well, unless they are supposed to be a mosaic, which means they have
all the same features (same color type, same resolution, same overviews,
and so on), if that's the case the mosaic store will load them and expose
them as a single layer.

From the error messages you've reported though, it seems the files are not

uniform.
