You'll need to use some mechanism outside the UI to get data to your server; after that the Shapefile datastore configuration has a file browser to let you choose files that are already uploaded.
The URI is arbitrary but expected to be unique; a good convention for that is to ensure that each URI is a URL using your server's hostname. But it won't cause problems as long as each workspace has a unique URI. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 2:20 PM, Nate Jennings <[email protected]>wrote: > I am new to Geoserver.
