[Geoserver-users] Publishing layers from my application

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hi everyone!

I’m currently working on a project in which we create new layers from java’s web application. We’re trying to accomplish this by adding tables (which would represent new layers) on to the postgres database, and then publishing them from geoserver. I’d like to know if it would be possible to publish those layers from the application itself without making use of the geoserver administration console. Is there an API to do this?

Thanks in advance!

you could use the geoserver REST interface to configure the geoserver catalog and settings.
If you don’t want to implement your own library interface you could try to take a look to geoserver manager:

Other languages:

Carlo
