Hello
Using the patch ( http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3999 ) I am now
able to reference shape files that are not in geoserver's data directory as
with geotiff's for example using the following configuration:
curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPUT -H 'Content-type: text/plain' -d
'file:/home/User/shapefiles/test4.shp'
http://localhost:9090/geoserver/rest/workspaces/Test/datastores/test4/external.shp
I get the following result:
[u...@~/geoserver-2.0.2]$ curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPUT -H 'Content-type:
text/plain' -d 'file:/home/User/shapefiles/test4.shp'

The feature types and layers are created automatically. What I noticed
however, is that for example in this case two data stores with the same name
are found in stores. If I delete anyone of these replicas I would be unable
to preview the shape files in "Openlayers." Another issue is that some of
the attributes are not added to the UI of Geoserver such as the
connectionParameters url. However, if i do a get request for the data store
these attributes (connectIonParameters) are returned in the result.
Using external.geotiff to reference geotiff's outside of geoserver's data
directory loads these attributes in Geoserver's UI and only one entry of the
store is entered. If the coverage store was geotiffTest only one entry would
be found in store.
Th following conigurtaion references geotiff's outside of Geoserver's data
directory.
curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPUT -H 'Content-type:text/plain' -d
'file:/home/User/geotiffTest/geotiftest.tif'
http://localhost:9090/geoserver/rest/workspaces/Test/coveragestores/tiffTest/external.geotiff?configure=first\&coverageName=tiffTest

Could you let me know if I am doing something wrong or if there is something
else that I need to do. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
This might be a minor issue but I was just thinking if I had to add over a
thousand shape files to geoserver, I would see over two thousand since the
entry is added twice in the store. As stated before this is not the case
with referencing getiff's externally.
Best Regards
Mckeane Thomas
