Dear all,
I'm working on automating the creation/update of app-schema datastores in
GeoServer leveraging the REST API.
The current API already allows the creation of an app-schema datastore and, of
course, it is already possible to create secondary namespaces/workspaces via
REST: what is missing (at least AFAIK) is the possibility to upload an
app-schema mapping file to an already created app-schema datastore (also
creating a new one based on the uploaded mapping file would be nice).
I had a quick look at the REST endpoints we already have and I focused on this
one:
/workspaces//datastores//[file|url|external][.extension]
which is ultimately handled by either DataStoreFileResource or
CoverageStoreFileResource. The supported extensions so far are shape,
properties, h2 and spatialite.
I'm proposing to add a new extension, appschema, that will be handled by a new
kind of resource, let's call it AppSchemaDataAccessResource, extending
StoreFileResource, which will take care of copying the uploaded mapping file to
its proper location.
I'm a bit puzzled as to where (i.e. in which module) this new class should be
put: I guess gs-restconfig would be the wrong place, since it would make it
dependent on gt-app-schema. Perhaps the best way would be to create a new
module, let's call it gt-app-schema-rest, containing just
AppSchemaDataAccessResource and occasional supporting classes, and then have
StoreFileFinder (gs-restconfig module) somehow look it up dynamically.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Stefano Costa
