generating config for GS 2.0

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi list,

I had a PHP script for GS 1.7 to generate config XML files (I have 17
database users with an identical schema and about 50 tables per user).

However, with 2.0 this does not seem feasible anymore (id values in every
XML file, with non-straightforward values like
FeatureTypeInfoImpl--6c9b038e:124c8fc8adb:-7fff and also a lot more XML
files).

So what is the best way to generate config XML's for GS 2.0?

Thanks for any pointers.

Best regards,
Bart

The idea for any generated configuration now is to use the REST API.
Our hope is that it can cover all use cases that people used to do by
hacking XML files together.  It's an extension 'rest config' I think
it's called, and there should be docs in the user documentation.

So I think you'd just have a script that makes all the REST calls to
generate your configuration.  Let us know if there's things that you
need done that it can't handle, or indeed that make it more hard in
general (past just the pain of converting what you did before, which we
apologize for, but this is 2.0 so we do get to break a few things).

thanks,

Chris
