Thank you for the answer.
My geoserver istance is deployed on a jboss application server so in the
deploy directory I've got the geoserver.war directory.
I suppose that the configuration files were deleted because I didn't defined
the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR in my web.xml file (I thought that geoserver uses the
default data directory mantaining the data even if there isn't defined any
one in web.xml)
I've tried to define a postgis datastore and adding some layers. The files
generated by geoserver are:
- GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/workspaces/ws_name/ds_name/datastore.xml
where there are the parameters about the connection
- GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/workspaces/ws_name/ds_name/l_name/feature.xml
- GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/workspaces/ws_name/ds_name/l_name/layer.xml
where there are the parameters about the layer , its position and
projection, its style..
For every 'object' I saw there is an id tag, for example:
<id>LayerInfoImpl--5838fbbb:12f1062e5eb:-7e80</id>
<id>FeatureTypeInfoImpl--5838fbbb:12f1062e5eb:-7e81</id>
...
Is there a meaning for each part of the id code or could it be setted with
some other code? I tried to edit it on an existing layer and it keeps on
working. But if I try to create a new layer in the same datastore it is
never loaded. This are the files I create:
- GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/workspaces/ws_name/ds_name/newl_name/feature.xml
- GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/workspaces/ws_name/ds_name/newl_name/layer.xml
I update the layer and feature name and correctly set the id with some new
values in both files.
Are there other files I have to edit to make geoserver load the new layer?
