Preliminary steps
|
|
3
|
-----------------------
|
|
4
|
1. Place .shp file and related files in /metacat/lib/spatial/geoserver/data/shp/ directory (or another dir under /data...this is specified when creating datastore)
|
|
5
|
1.1 Add a layer description to the map frame config xml before deploying - saves you the trouble after the map layer is configured in geoserver (nice for testing immediately)
|
|
6
|
2. [Re]Install metacat webapp so that these spatial files are included in deployment

|
3. login to geoserver (DEPLOYED_CONTEXT/geoserver.jsp)
|
|
13
|
4. create new namespace (optional since you can use an existing one ("metacat") if that makes sense)
|
|
14
|
5. create new datastore -- point to shapefile in data directory using file://...
|
|
15
|
6. create new FeatureType (use the common SRS of 4326)
|
|
16
|
7. create new style (SLD) - may want to manually edit it after initial creation. It will be in the styles folder under geoserver.
|
|
17
|
8. 'generate', 'submit'
|
|
18
|
9. 'apply', then 'save'
|

Repository steps (to keep it around for subsequent installations/deployments)
|
|
22
|
-----------------------
|
|
23
|
10. Copy GeoServer-generated files from webapp installation location to /metacat checkout area:
|
|
24
|
-DEPLOYED_CONTEXT/data/featureTypes/NEW_LAYER_FOLDER (includes one info.xml file) --> /metacat/lib/spatial/geoserver/data/featureTypes/
|
|
25
|
-DEPLOYED_CONTEXT/data/styles/NEW_LAYER_STYLE.sld --> /metacat/lib/spatial/geoserver/data/styles/
|
|
26
|
11. Edit /metacat/lib/spatial/geoserver/WEB-INF/catalog.xml to include the new <datastore>, <namespace>, and <style> for the new layer
|
