Gavin,
as far as I know, REST can only be used to update configurations and
data files, not data in a database
The OGC standard to update data in a database is WFS-T (transactional
WFS), but this is only supported in GeoServer for simple features, and
is not supported by the app-schema plugin.
If you expose your underlying database tables as simple features, you
can use WFS-T to update them. The updates will be encoded in the simple
feature type not GeodesyML.
app-schema support for WFS-T will have to address identity and
cardinality of nested features; when a complex feature is updated, are
nested features also updated? This could be tricky to implement.
Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi,
Has anyone implemented an App Schema Data Store (such as a Postgres
database) to be updated via REST? I would love a working example of how you
import data.
More ambitiously, we actually map our Postgres schema to the GeodesyML
schema for WFS requests (using several feature-chained app schema mapping
files). Is it possible to upload data in GeodesyML via REST and have
Geoserver "reverse map" the data back into Postgres during the REST import
so that we can allow database updates through Geoserver?
Documentation, working code, examples, or just discussion is much
appreciated.
Cheers,
Gavin
