That's what I did for the GML reader, where there is no good way to just read the headers and guess the GML version, sometimes the geometry type, and its CRS (under the common case that the schema is nowhere to be found) > Via the Importer REST API you can specify Lat/Lon columns.

I don't know, never tried. The example I added in the docs indeed uses a transform (post datastore read) to make points out of lat/lon, even if the store should be perfectly happy to read that directly as points (if we just told it to use the right strategy). > > A custom config panel seems like a very good idea, and should include some > way to specify the Geometry column(s) (Lat/Lon or WKT). > Yep, if you look at my CSV store patch, I exposed already the relevant fields along with the namespace param > > Given that Property datastores > <http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/app-schema/data-stores.html#property-file> > are supported in core GeoServer, it would make just as much sense to also > include the CSV datastore in core GeoServer. > That's what I was thinking too Cheers Andrea -- == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
