Dear Marc, generally speaking you can make use of the REST Api for interacting programmatically with the GeoServer in order to publish layers automatically.
If you are interested, the approach we take for publishing dynamic data in GeoServer automatically is described in this blog post http://geo-solutions.blogspot.com/2011/05/briseide-project-geoserver-geonetwork.html Regards, Simone Giannecchini ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
