We have a large number of layers that are set up from a PostGIS data store.
To avoid future connections issues we're looking to move them to a PostGIS
JNDI store (all same workspace and DB connection details).

I've done a trial on our test instance by simply:
 * Creating new JNDI store
 * Manually move the layer directory to the new store directory
 * Update the layer's featuretype.xml with the new store's dataStore id
 * Reload the configuration and catalog

This appears to have worked ok and would be fairly easy to replicate across
all the layers with some bulk find/replace; but is anyone aware of any
issues this might cause?

Is there anything that this method might miss (affected layer groups maybe)?

Is there a better way to do this?  I'm guess this might be possible using
the REST API (but I've not had any experience using this)?

Many thanks.

Rob
