create "WMS - Cascades a remote Web Map Service" store

[kissmd]

lets take this one step even further:

i also would like to register a new layer through the rest api which mirrors an already existing wms layer from another geoserver.

the web interface has it: geoserver /stores /add new store /"WMS - Cascades a remote Web Map Service"

is there any possibility for that?

as i see even the geoserver rest api does not provide an option for that, does it? is there any plan, you will add a new call to the geoserver-manager?

thx!

am i right, if i post the proper xml-s (for creating a wms store and a layer in it) to the rest api, it will automatically register the layer for me? should i give it a try?

[ccancellieri]

Yes we are missing this feature and The rest documentation is also not very clear about this type of store. We have not planned to work on this in the short length plan but we will evaluate patches to add support for this format if you provide a pull request.

hi i had some time to work on this, but i am stucked.

i try to post to

http://10.0.8.241:8080/geoserver_212/rest/workspaces/misu5/datastores/

this xml:

<wmsStore>
    <name>FL1029</name>
    <type>WMS</type>
    <description>Forwarded layer 1029</description>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <__default>false</__default>

    </workspace>
    <metadata>
        <entry key="useConnectionPooling">true</entry>
    </metadata>
</wmsStore>

but the geoserver log shows:

24 Jan 10:42:06 INFO [org.geoserver] - Loaded store 'FL1029', enabled

if i compare this with a manually registered wmsstore only the wmsLayers tag is missing, but i think this should be added later .

what am i missing? what should i do different?

(the urls and names are correct)

thx. misu

Hi Misu, GeoServer may supports this functionality since 2.1 but GeoServer Manager still doesn't. I encourage you to write about these problems on the GeoServer users mailing lists (http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Mailing+Lists). Cheers, Carlo
