[Geoserver-users] New LayerGroup via REST ignores styles in a workspace

Hi All,

Just trying to create a layergroup via Geoserver’s REST API and it seems that any style in a workspace is ignored in favour of the default style for the layer (as is the case for an empty element).

For example, if I copy the styles used by the “tasmania” layer group into the “topp” workspace, and specify them in the XML (see below), the created layer group does not use them.

Am I doing anything wrong here?

For information, the curl command I’m using (which seems fine) is:

curl –u admin:XXXXXXXX –XPOST –H ‘Content-type: text/xml’ -d@anonymised.com http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/layergroups

where tasmania.xml contains the XML below.

Many thanks,

Andy
