Hi again! 
I wrote a program at the weekend which makes new folders in the
"data_dir\featureTypes" directory and for every entry an info.xml.
Everything works perfectly but I have to restart the GeoServer so that he
knows that there are new featureTypes, which isn't great, because after
adding the new featureTypes I want to open a browser-instance which shows me
a map. It isn't practical for me to stop and restart the geoserver because
it has to be available 24/7!
Is there any way to add featureTypes "on the fly" in the background?
Thanks in advance,
Christian.

Hi Christian,
Its not pretty... but here it is:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Alternative+for+reloading+the+Geoserver+catalog
It involves logging into the web ui programatically and pressing the load button.

Unfortunately, I think there were some comments on IRC suggesting that this no longer works in 1.6.x.
I haven't verified this, either way there's probably not much that needs to change, but some familiarity with Perl / LWP may be required.

ps. I put a short note in the wiki about it, feel free to remove it if I'm mistaken

You're correct... I did not try that either since I have zero familiarity with PHP/Perl me too, but what needs to be changed is the following:
* skip the login step altogether
* add HTTP basic authentication headers with username and password to
all other calls

Hi Justin!
Thanks for the link! Pity that I didn't find it myself....
Anyway, I'm coding in java and will have a look at it.
Thanks for the advice from the rest of you 
If I have questions on how to change the things that need to be changed I'll
come back here...
Cheers,
Christian.

Hmm, thanks for making me aware of this... We are still using 1.5
series release and I wasn't aware of the problem under 1.6.x. I am
resuming our geoserver-centric project, which means that I will
upgrade our production version and update the wiki.

Hi Alex!
Does that mean that you'll adjust the code here:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Alternative+for+reloading+the+Geoserver+catalog
?
- Christian.

Hi Christian,
Yes, I intent to update that wiki page if it's not working correctly
with the most current Geoserver version.
Alex
OK I updated the perl script on that wiki page for the 1.6.3 release.
Seems to work, please let me know of any problems.
Alex
