[Geoserver-users] trying to create a layer for a coveragestore using the rest API

Katie_Essadro · December 13, 2012, 1:43pm

Hello all,

I have created a coveragestore in geoserver using the rest API like this:

curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPOST -H “Content-type: text/xml” –T C:\Users\katie\Desktop\pyramidstore.xml http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/walker/coveragestores?configure=all

My xml was this:

walkerpyramid

walkerpyramid test

ImagePyramid

true

walker

<__default>false</__default>

file:F:\gis\geotiffs\pyramid3

Next I wanted to create a layer for the coverage store, so I tried this:

curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XPOST -H “Content-type: text/xml” -d “walkerpyramid” http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/walker/coveragestores/walkerpyramid/coverages

However, this gave me the following error:

About to connect() to localhost port 8080 (#0)
Trying 127.0.0.1… connected
Server auth using Basic with user ‘admin’

POST /geoserver/rest/workspaces/walker/coveragestores/walkerpyramid/coverages

< Transfer-Encoding: chunked
< Server: Jetty(6.1.8)
<

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong? How can I create a layer for this store using geoserver rest API?

Thanks!

Katie

Katie,
note that using ‘configure=all’ will automatically publish all the layer matching resources into the store.
Not sure about the error code 500, probably having geoserver logs may help understanding.
Cheers,
Carlo

Hello Carlo,

So you are suggesting since I used configure=all that there should be a
layer created when I create the store? There is no layer that I can see.

Thanks,
Katie

You can try these:
curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d
"<coverageStore><name>walkerpyramid</name><workspace>walker</workspace><enabled>true</enabled></coverageStore>"
http://localhost/geoserver/rest/workspaces/walker/coveragestores

curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPUT -H "Content-type: text/plain"
-d"file:F:/gis/geotiffs/pyramid3"
http://localhost/geoserver/rest/workspaces/walker/coveragestores/walkerpyramid/external.imagepyramid

Worked with image mosaic but I haven't tried it with image pyramid.

The “500 Internal Server Error” message only tells us that an unexpected error occurred while trying to apply your changes. This is a bug since at the very least the error message should give you some information about how to correct the problem.

Unfortunately that’s pretty much all we can tell you without more information. If you review the GeoServer logs after the failed request, do you see anything interesting (ie, that appears relevant to your rest error)? You may need to increase the log level in the GeoServer Global Settings page and retry the request.

Ok, nevermind my 500 error, I got this to work!! The error was causing by the
F:\ path not existing anymore. When I made that a correct path, it worked!!!

Thank you SO MUCH!
