Hi all,


I’d like to ask the community if it is possible to automate the following,
and if so how it is best done:



Given:   A PostGIS database containing some number of spatial data tables
not yet available as layers in  GeoServer

To do:   Add a layer for each of these tables to GeoServer



Looking through the documentation on the GeoServer REST API, it looks like
this should be possible. But so far, I’ve not been successful in
“connecting all the dots” and figuring out exactly what the necessary
sequence of calls to the REST API should look like.



When adding a small number of new layers to GeoServer, using the web
interface to do this isn’t a problem. However, this approach becomes
tedious and error-prone when there’s a need to add more than a handful of
layers.



I’d appreciate any advice/guidance the community has on automating this
process.

Thanks for any help you can offer with this.



All best,

Ben
