I want to publish a layer automatically in geoserver. Each layer is a database table in postgis db. I can see the table in geoserver store(already contains some layer tables of that particular db) as soon as I create it in postgis but publishing it should be done manually. Can I find any php script for just publishing the layer....

Does "Adding a postgis table" section in http://docs.geoserver.org/2.0.x/en/user/extensions/rest/rest-config-examples-curl.html also publishes the layer????

This re-publishes a Layer when the user adds (or deletes) a polygon - it is using WFS-T to add the data to the database from the browser.

Protocol Transactions can be found here:

does that mean there is no rest api script for publishing the layers??? Then whats the use of adding them to geoserver??? – Vikash Talanki Jun 14 '11 at 21:49

When you POST the feature type yes a layer is created as well. If you are not able to access it then another error is occurring. – jdeolive Jun 15 '11 at 14:16
