Hi everyone, I am new to geoserver and I need some orientation from you.
I need to develop a dynamic store providing features to geoserver and represent generated images on a map. To achieve this I will use geotools to develop the store and the store will be installed on geoserver. I already have an approach to do this, but I don't know if it is the best approach to take... The store is dynamic because I don't know which layers will exist. The layers and the data, for each layer, will be uploaded by a user. For example, a user will upload a shapefile, and then will be able to visualize the information on a map, without configure anything on geoserver. I would like to receive somewhere as a parameter the shapefile name to open, for example. As far as I know geoserver, the layer to display must be defined statically, i. e. the geotools store returns which shapefiles exists, and in geoserver world the feature source will be mapped to a layer. But, this mapping must be defined administratively, choosing the store and the layer in geoserver. To achieve this, I find out that I can develop a data store that returns a single feature source, publish it as a layer in geoserver and then select the shapefile using the cql_filter parameter along with the filters for data... I know that geoserver works a little different and that's why need your orientation. Do you have any sugestions?
