Hi Bernhard,

It sounds like what you are wanting to do is add layers dynamically? 
Without going through the user interface? If that is the case we use the 
REST configuration API for this.

http://docs.geoserver.org/1.7.x/user/extensions/rest/index.html

There are some examples there that show how to upload a shapefile.
