If you are attending FOSS4G this year I have an intermediate geotools
workshop which is covering exactly this question :)
The quick answer is your jar needs to include an file in META-INF/services
documenting what interface you are implementing for GeoServer to use Each
line of this file lists a class that implements this interface.
So for a DataStore we get a file like this:
-
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/master/modules/plugin/property/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/org.geotools.data.DataStoreFactorySpi
For now please see the geotools documentation on how factories (and how
Java Service Provider Interface - SPI) works.
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/factory.html
There is a tutorial showing how to make a new function, and register it
with SPI here:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/function.html
There is also a long form tutorial on the older AbstractDataStore base
class here:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/abstractdatastore.html
