Geoserver REST client in Java - Automatically exported from https://code.google.com/p/gsrcj

A Java Client to the Geoserver 2.0.2+ RESTful configuration extension. Using this library, one can access a remote Geoserver via HTTP and configure it.

The REST extension of Geoserver has to be installed on Geoserver.

This project uses Java 1.5 and has no extra dependencies!

That is a difference to the rest module found in Geoserver's community-folder (http:https://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/branches/2.0.x/src/community/rest/pom.xml), which has dependencies to many Geoserver + Geotools JAR.

Note: 2011/05 Geosolutions release a very similar project: http:https://geo-solutions.blogspot.com/2011/05/developers-corner-geoserver-manager.html Since they are Geoserver-core developers, you might want to evaluate that project as well.

The REST API is not fully implemented. Here is a selection of what's there:

• String uploadShape(String workspace, String dsName, URL zip)
• createDatastoreShapefile(String workspace, String dsName, String dsNamespace, String relpath, String charset, Boolean memoryMappedBuffer, Boolean createSpatialIndex)
• String createSld(String stylename, String sldString)
• boolean createFeatureType(String wsName, String dsName, String ftName)
• boolean createFeatureType(String wsName, String dsName, String ftName)
• createDbDatastore(String workspace, String dsName, String dsNamespace, String host, String port, String db, String user, String pwd, String dbType, boolean exposePKs)
• boolean createWorkspace(String workspaceName)
• List of String getFeatureTypes(String wsName, String dsName)
• List of String getLayersUsingDatastore(String wsName, String dsName)
• List of String getLayerNames()
• deleteSld(String styleName, Boolean purge)
