Unfortunately this is a users list, and not guaranteed support. While I (and others) can and will do our best to help you, it is not formal, and often on a volunteer time basis. Most of the people that support each other on this list have obligations and deadlines just like you

Another question,
How can I specify which coverages I want to appear in which layers?
And...do I need to use Styles in order to make layers?Well first you have to add the coverage. This will implicitly create a layer for you which references the coverage under the name <ws>:<coverageName>
You should be able to create a layer without specifying a default style,
but one will be assigned to it implicitly.
I don't intend to reverse engineer the whole thing...just the parts
that
I need so I can get moving.

Justin,
Yes, I am doing that now...kinda have to just to fill out values so
I
can POST and GET and make sense of the data.
It's very hard to traverse a DOM when you don't know what the DOM
even
looks like....
I will send it to you for review before I start to use it in my
application.How long will you be available today?
Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] REST Configuration APIWell... xstream is nice and simple. You do not need to define a
schema
or antyhing to serialize and deserialize objects. We also had a
bunch
of
a xstream based stuff around for serializing the exact same objects,
so
it made sense to reuse it.
Part of my hesitation of publishing a schema at this point is that
this
api is very new, and will undoubtedly change. But I realize this
makes
it hard for the client since there is no great way to figure out
what
a
legal representation is.
Anyways, if you do reverse engineer a schema and would be willing to
share it I would be happy to review it, and incorporate it into the
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!!
