[GIS] can we update imagemosaic layer with geoserver rest api

geoservergeoserver-rest-apiimage-mosaic

I am new to GIS and geoserver. I am trying to add and modify imagemosaic layers to geoserver with geoserver rest api. Actually I could add the layers. But I have modify them with rest api while adding or after adding. The parameters I have to set is:

Layer name, srs handling, declared rss, background values, use jai image read

Can I set these values with rest api? If there is documentation about it i will read but I couldn't find any. And if we can set these values I have to solve out how?

Thanks,,

You can do this via the REST interface by posting to the right URL as indicated here: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/rest/api/coverages.html#workspaces-ws-coveragestores-cs-coverages-c-format

the new XML representation for the coverage layer. I would use the original one as a template to modify and post back to experiment.

As an alternative in java you can use the GeoServer-Manager as shown here: https://github.com/geosolutions-it/geoserver-manager/wiki/Managing-Mosaic-Layers

[GIS] Changing Style of Layer in GeoServer REST API (PHP)

optional. this is function php for change exist layer style in geoserver v2.3.0.

I solved it by folowing function notice that $params it have to put "true" for enable layer after chang style in geoserver.

function change_layer_style($url_layer,$style_name) {
    $params = '<layer><defaultStyle><name>'.$style_name.'</name></defaultStyle><enabled>true</enabled></layer>';
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url_layer);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD,"user:password"); //geoserver.
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // Receive server response ...


    $response = curl_exec($ch);

    curl_close ($ch);
    return $response;


}


    //--> how to use.
    //--> 1. config your geoserver url.
    $your_workspace = "xxx";
    $your_layer_name = = "bbb";

    $url_layer = "http://xxxx.co.uk:8080/geoserver/rest/layers/".$your_workspace.":".$your_layer_name;
    $style_name ="your_exist_style_name";

    //--> call above function.
    change_layer_style($url_layer,$style_name);

[GIS] Add new style using REST api in geoserver

It's not clear what libraries you are using but as the example you link to shows you need to send the sld file (zipped and encoded) to http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/styles with the Content-type set.

I've never tried but I expect you could send just the XML data with a Content-type: text/xml but it will take longer than sending a compressed file.
