Thanks, yeah this works well.

What if I have a directory of shapefiles ? How do I know which layer represents which shape file ?

The XML response would only give you the directory name..

Thanks again !

in that case you should use rest to get the layer featuretype and then get the datastore from the featuretype url

*first*
/http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/layers/layername.xml/

parse XML and fetch the first_url value

<resourceclass="featureType">
<name>workspace:layername</name>
<atom:linkxmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"rel="alternate"href="*first_url*"type="application/xml"/>
</resource>

*second*
call the first_url, parse XML and fetch the second_url value

<storeclass="dataStore">
<name>workspace:storename</name>
<atom:linkxmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"rel="alternate"href="*second_url*"type="application/xml"/>
</store>

*last*
call second_url and fetch the result looking for the key value of:
/<datastore><connectionParameters><entry key="url"><value></entry>
/in the response XML

    Thanks. Is there also a way to get the shapefile path using the
    layer name ?

    For example, If I publish a layer A using a shapefile X (data
    store), Is it possible to get the path or the fullname of X using
    the layer name "A" ?

    I would use the rest API.

    doesn't refer javascript but you could start here
    
https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/rest/stores.html#listing-store-details

    to access geoserver rest API you will also need to deal with
    authentication in client side (maybe using ajax/XMLHttpRequest)

    then you could fetch the store details rest endpoint
    e.g.
    http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/acme/datastores/roads.xml


    and parse the response with a xml parser to find what you're
    looking for

        Hi all,

        is there a way to get the connection parameters for ex, the
        location of
        a shapefile of a data store in Geoserver ?

        I want to get this through a URL request from a client
        (javascript
        preferably. if not, Java).

        Regards,

        Vikram
