[Geoserver-users] REST Configuration API

In the meantime, I'll have to improvise and make up the schema on my own
based on the data I see in the examples on your site.

Why did your team decide to use XStream rather than the popular JAXB or
XMLBeans Java <-> XML binding APIs?

Hi,

I am exploring the new REST Configuration API and I was curious about
the XML datatype.

Do you provide an XSD schema that lists the type of data structures

that

would be returned from geoserver?

Unfortunately no, not yet. The library we use (XStream) does not provide

any facility for generating an XML schema, nor should it really. So one
thing I was was thinking of was coming up with one manually, but
something i have not got around with.

This would work out well with a JAXB or XMLBeans.

Another thing I would like to do is publish a java based client api.
Actually there is a summer of code project for this. That way client
code would really have to worry about what the exact XML representation
looks like.

Thanks!!
