TODOS
- Add support for adding and removing data from GeoServer
- Maintain test coverage
Sample Layer Creation Code
from geoserver.catalog import Catalog
cat = Catalog("http://localhost:8080/geoserver/")
topp = self.cat.get_workspace("topp")
shapefile_plus_boxcars = shapefile_and_friends("states")
# shapefile_and_friends should look on the filesystem to find a shapefile
# and related files based on the base path passed in
#
# shapefile_plus_boxcars == {
# 'shp': 'states.shp',
# 'shx': 'states.shx',
# 'prj': 'states.prj',
# 'dbf': 'states.dbf'
# }
# 'data' is required (there may be a 'schema' alternative later, for creating empty featuretypes)
# 'workspace' is optional (GeoServer's default workspace is used by... default)
# 'name' is required
ft = self.cat.create_featuretype(name, workspace=topp, data=shapefile_plus_boxcars)
