Hi Fawzy,
Off the top of my head I think that's going to be your best option,
though others probably know better. It *might* be possible to do it via
WPS, but you're still going to need something behind it that does the
processing part.
> Another question, if I put the geotiff file in a PostGIS table (as a
raster data type), can I publish this table as a layer in Geoserver, and
use it normally like geotiff layer?
I believe it's possible
(https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/28423/publish-postgis-raster-to-geoserver
) but it's generally not good practice as PostGIS isn't really made for
serving raw raster data. You'll get much more performance serving it up
as a GeoTIFF.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi,
I want to create an elevation profile using Geoserver. I have a large
geotiff file that contains the elevations. I've Googled for this
problem and found the following solution
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/110241/how-to-get-elevation-profile-from-tif-dsm-on-the-web-map
The solution requires to put the geotiff file in PostGIS table, then
execute a query to get the profile.
Actually I do not want to put the geotiff in a DB, to not have
duplicate data in my project, because I'm using this geotiff file as a
layer in Geoserver for other purpose.
My question is, is there other methods to create elevation profile in
Geoserver?
can I make a Geotools custom function that does that?
Another question, if I put the geotiff file in a PostGIS table (as a
raster data type), can I publish this table as a layer in Geoserver,
and use it normally like geotiff layer?
Regards,
Fawzy
