You may also consider using the resource rest api to upload the file, and the the importer rest api in ingest (it offers greater control as Ian suggests).
The upload you found determines a unique table name based on the provided content, so for your shapefile this is based on the filename. The file is here https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/main/src/restconfig/src/main/java/org/geoserver/rest/catalog/DataStoreFileController.java if you wish to troubleshoot. // does the feature type already exist in the target? try { targetDataStore.getSchema(featureTypeName); } catch (Exception e) { LOGGER.info( featureTypeName + " does not exist in data store " + storeName + ". Attempting to create it"); // schema does not exist, create it by first creating an instance // of the source datastore and copying over its schema targetDataStore.createSchema(sourceDataStore.getSchema(featureTypeName)); sourceDataStore.getSchema(featureTypeName); } -- Jody Garnett On May 9, 2022 at 10:34:22 AM, Giuseppe Falcone <falcone.giuse...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > thanks for the response. > I'm building a web application that must have this function. > From browser user upload a shapefile e I put into a db table. > I think REST API are perfect for this purpose. > > Giuseppe > > Il giorno lun 9 mag 2022 alle ore 19:22 Ian Turton <ijtur...@gmail.com> > ha scritto: > >> I'm not sure that you need to involve geoserver in this, Ogr2ogr would be >> quicker and easier to append a shapefile to a database.
