On Windows things are tricky, as the operation system will keep the file
locked for as long
as GeoSever is using it (on Linux there is no such problem afaik).
I never tried it, but the following might work:
- to into the config UI, get into the store configuration, untick the
"enabled" flag and save
- replace the shapefile
- go back into the config UI and enable the store again
If you are updating many shapefiles that might get annoying, you might want
to
write a script leveraging the REST configuration API
(http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-api.html)
to automate the process.
