GeoServer-Manager

Introduction

The purpose of this project is to hold a *REST* client library to interact with http://www.geoserver.org GeoServer; a requirement for this library is to depend as less as possible on external libraries. This library aims at being *lean and mean*.

GeoServer

As a first step, the REST library used in http://www.geobatch.org has been exported, refactored and then imported here.

Building and testing the library

When building, the tests require a running http://www.geoserver.org instance. *The tests are destructive*, so, by default, these tests will be skipped. In order for the tests to run, you have to define some env var:

  • *resttest* set to true to have the test run.
  • *resturl* the URL where the target geoserver can be found -- default http://localhost:8080/geoserver
  • *restuser* the username for logging into geoserver -- default admin
  • *restpw* the password for logging into geoserver -- default geoserver

e.g.

   mvn clean install -Dgsmgr_resttest=true

will run build the lib and run the test on a default GeoServer installation running at http://localhost:8080/geoserver

Version

Current stable version is 1.3.0. The recommended version to use with GeoServer trunk is >= 1.2. On our maven repository (see below), you can also locate the older 1.1-SNAPSHOT or 1.0.

Working with Maven

In order to include the lib and its dependencies in a Maven project, the repository to point at is this one:

http://maven.geo-solutions.it/

and the dependency tag for your pom is as follows:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>it.geosolutions</groupId>
    <artifactId>geoserver-manager</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.1</version>
  </dependency>
