I have KML files which I would like to serve out via Geoserver. Perhaps I am missing something, but I don’t see how to create a layer from a KML file – there only seems to be options to create layers from Shapefiles. All references to KML I have found on the web seem to relate to exporting KML, not importing it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

There is no such a thing as publishing a KML as is, that's why you cannot
find it.
The closest thing we have is importing the KML into a target data store
(postgis, shapefile) from where we can publish using the importer extension.
However, that will make it lose its styles.
Adding the ability to publish from KML directly, using its native styling,
would indeed be nice. I've just added a page describing
what to do in case of feature requests, you can have a look at it:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Successfully-requesting-and-integrating-new-features-and-improvements-in-GeoServer
This one would be one of the complex ones, proposals and all, since we'd
need to start carrying around features with their own "native" style,
something
we don't have in the programming interface right now (SLD is all about
separating data from styling, KML is the polar opposite).

GeoWolf,
I've been trying to do this without success. Simple kml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2
https://developers.google.com/kml/schema/kml22gx.xsd">
<Placemark>
<name>test</name>
<LineString>
<coordinates>-11310111.782622844,4001386.6167203914
-5283204.9763932675,3883979.3412743607</coordinates>
</LineString>
</Placemark>
</kml>
Using GeoServer Importer (same version as GepServer) and I've confirmed
Importer is working correctly by both using the interface to import
shapefiles and using the REST API to import a shapefile directory - all that
works.
So, in importer choosing the file, specifying an existing workspace and an
existing shapefile datastore, selecting next and the kml file shows-up in
"Recent Imports" as expected. Selecting the import and going to the "Import
#", seeing the layer, selecting the layer and choosing import and I get this
error:
java.io.IOException: Schema 'example' does not exist.

Can't find anything anywhere on the internet that tells me what's wrong. I
believe I'm following the right procedure? I've tried creating a new
workspace with a new datastore, a workspace with a new but empty shapefile
datastore, and an existing workspace with a new datastore - all no good.
Help?
