Hi Justin,
Thanks for the response. Still not getting it to work though. I have tried:
$.ajax({
type: "PUT",
url: proxyurl +
"http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/jflow/coveragestores/test1/external.imagemosaic";,
data: "file:///OpenSourceGIS/data/testmosaicREST/test1.shp",
contentType: "text/plain", //"application/zip",
success: function(resp) {
alert('in success');
},
complete: function(xReq,txtStatus) {
alert('in complete: xReq.status=' + xReq.status + ' txtstatus=' + txtStatus +
'; responseText= ' + xReq.responseText);
if (xReq.responseText.indexOf("201") != -1) {
alert('Completed make ImageMosaic');
}
}
});(and various combinations of backslashes, different numbers of forward slashes etc in the data string) but GeoServer only gets as far as making a coverage store and nothing else, and returning an HTTP Server Error 500. I don't really understand what the external.imagemosaic is supposed to do. Should it make the whole mosaic, as if running the plugin, or would I still have to make a PUT request to define the coverage as well? In answer to your comments/questions: There are a couple of different ways to use this endpoint to configure a mosaic in this way. The method you are using is uploading the file directly.. which with a mosaic probably won't work unless you have all the individual files for the mosaic in the zip file... which you probably dont. Or if your shapefile contained absolute paths to all the files but I think usually they are relative. The zip I was previously using did not contain the tifs (only the shapefile and properties files) but all the files are on the map server - and the index shapefile did contain the absolute paths (but I could change this to relative if important).

The method you are using is uploading the file directly.. which with a mosaic probably won't work unless you have all the individual files for the mosaic in the zip file... which you probably dont. Or if your shapefile contained absolute paths to all the files but i think usually they are relative. I might be wrong about that. That said, a method that might work better is to use the endpoint external.imagemosaic. This allows you to specify locations that already exist on the server rather than upload the files directly. In this case you woudl somehow upload all the files for the mosaic (including the shapefile index) to the server, and then call the endpoint to simply configure the coverage in geoserver. Here are some useful links in the docs for you: * http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-examples-curl.html#adding-an-existing-shapefile for shapefile but same applies * http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-api.html#data-stores scroll down until you see: /workspaces/<ws>/datastores/<ds>/file[.<extension>] /workspaces/<ws>/datastores/<ds>/url[.<extension>] /workspaces/<ws>/datastores/<ds>/external[.<extension>] Hope that helps. -Justin On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 8:33 AM, Anne Brookes <anne.broo...@jbaconsulting.co.uk<mailto:anne.broo...@jbaconsulting.co.uk>> wrote: Hello All, I am trying to use the REST API to dynamically configure an imagemosaic layer from GeoTIFF images, but without success. I have zipped up the .shp, .shx, .dbf and .prj files of the index shapefile and the properties file and have tried issuing a PUT request, as follows: $.ajax({ type: "PUT", url: proxyurl + "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/jflow/coveragestores/test1/file.imagemosaic";, data: "test1.zip, contentType: "application/zip", success: function(resp) { alert('in success'); }, complete: function(xReq,txtStatus) { alert('in complete: xReq.status=' + xReq.status + ' txtstatus=' + txtStatus + '; responseText= ' + xReq.responseText); if (xReq.responseText.indexOf("201") != -1) { alert('Completed make ImageMosaic'); } } }); GeoServer gets as far as making a coveragestore for test1 but the url is defined as "file:data/test1/test1.imagemosaic" which generates an error in the logs (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: /C:/Program%20Files/GeoServer%202.0.2/data_dir/data/test1/test1.imagemosaic is not one of the files types that is known to be associated with a shapefile). I have read the thread (http://old.nabble.com/Reload-Mosaic-CoverageStore-Coverage-after-shp-properties-file-has-been-modified-td23928766.html) so it seems it is possible to do but I must be doing something wrong. My questions are: * Do I just need the one PUT request or should I issue a POST request first to create the coverageStore (and possibly a second to amend the coverage properties)? * Should the .zip file be placed in the folder where the .tif files are located? * How does the file.imagemosaic request tell GeoServer where the images are located?
