Yes, in GeoServer there is one class that knows what a shapefile is, it's
the configuration panel
where you put the location of the shapefile (and the new importer extension
too).
Everything else is done via interfaces, and due to security
related wrappers, it's normally hard to know what a store is anyways (it's
still possible, but hard and not advisable)
For your specific case I believe the issue should be solved at the level of
your application:
* configure the shapefile using REST config (this is already what you're
doing I assume?)
* make a GetFeature and see if the result is empty
* if so, use against REST config to fix the layer bounding box, but don't
set it to all zeros,
as some OGC clients may fail if you do so (they don't have anymore a
knowledge about where the
layer is in the world, cannot setup a valid request against it), make it
represent your area of interest instead
Cheers
