Hi all, I created a GSIP about a refactorization of the catalog beans. You can find it at http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+45+-+Moving+GeoServer+model+in+a+standalone+module
Here's a little excerpt from the proposal: ============================== At the moment, when an external app needs to exchange data with a GeoServer instance (e.g.: via REST or by accessing a DB-based catalog), it has to re-define its own set of beans representing Stores, Resources, Styles and so on. It could be extremely handy if external applications could use the very same *Info beans used by GeoServer (both interfaces and related implementations). In the present architecture this cannot be accomplished without importing in the external app all the catalog logic, that is useless outside a complete GeoServer instance. All in all, this refactoring will make clear the boundaries of metadata objects, making the creation of modules for marshalling/umarshalling them much simpler. ============================== Ciao, Emanuele ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
