GeoStore is an open source Java enterprise application for storing, searching and retrieving data on the fly.
GeoStore performs authentication internally (auth framework shall be pluggable), and internal authorization rules grant permissions on single Resources or whole Categories.
A comprehensive REST API allows an easy handling of internal resources, so that client side applications can easily query the store, while remote server side application can integrate with GeoStore using the GeoStoreClient, an utility java class that hides the REST communications complexities.
