Hi,

if I edit the shapefile on qgis and add a new field and relaod feature type on the GUI, it does not work, doesn't show the new field that I added on geoserver. And even if this works, I would want to trigger the reload through a rest API.

Regards,

Vikram

Hi Vikram,

I think that if you edit the layer and reload the featurestype (check image below, as a sample...at the end of the table, a link)..it should read the changes your applied to the shapefiles, and so, detect the new field added

(the reload feature type link should detect the changes in the DBF associated to the shapefile, and list it).
Is that what you wanted to do ?

    Hi all,

    I have a geoserver layer which feeds off a shapefile. When I add a
    new
    field to the shapefile externally, I want it to be reflected in the
    geoserver layer. Does anyone have an idea about this ?

    I see that one can externally add the new field to the
    featuretype.xml
    file of the layer and that does the trick. But is that the only way ?

    Regards,

    Vikram
