Hello Mr. Scarr,
I am faced with the same situation in which I am able to reference a
shape file that is not in the geoserver's data directory. However, in order
to preview the shape file I would have to manually create the layers and
publish it for the file from the add a new resource section under layers
section of the Geoserver's UI. If the files are uploaded into the data
directory the feature types are automatically created. The same applies for
geotiff's that are refernced externally using the external.geotiff?
examples. Since shapefiles in geoserver does not support external.shp (I was
told).
If there is any further information that could help me solve this problem
and applying this patch please could you relay such.
Thank you in advance
Regards,
Mckeane
