[Geoserver-users] XML declaration through REST

Perkola_Paula · July 14, 2010, 7:59am

Hi,

Is it possible to add an xml declaration (i.e. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>) to the beginning of a REST get-response?

My particular example involves the coveragestores.xml file, which is retrieved via the URL: http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces//coveragestores.xml and the current response is:

cs1 cs2 cs3

The reason I need the declaration, is that I’m auto-processing the retrieved xml-file and my processor checks the file for the xml entity.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Paula

This is a good suggestion. I have submitted a Jira issue:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4056

Thank you for your request.

Kind regards,
Ben.
