A bit more specifics about how you want to control GeoServer should help us give better advice. -Justin web wrote: > Hello all, > We develop an application that use Geoserver in backend to create geoservices > on PostGIS data. > > Our idea is to write a Java class that is able to communicate with Geoserver > for the geoservice creation process. > > The question is: What would be the best way four our Java class to > communicate with / control Geoserver?
