We have a system with nationwide coverage but only need to seed major cities. I am using the RestAPI but cannot seem to find a way to seed in multiple bounding boxes with a single xml config file. It would be really useful to be able to specify multiple bounding boxes in a single seeding operation.

2You can start multiple seeding processes in parallel. Or in serial if you poll the status of the running process.– user30184Mar 5, 2021 at 12:36

Thanks for your reply, i have tried that, i have 20+ bounding boxes, i just though it would be easier to seed them in one operation, every separate operation needs a thread so it soon builds up. Ideally i would just like to kick off a single operation and come back hours later when it is complete.– AdamwMar 5, 2021 at 12:41

then you will need to add some code to the REST system (and update the docs)– Ian Turton ♦Mar 5, 2021 at 14:15

1That would be nice indeed. My experience years ago was that when I came back hours later the (re)seeding had stopped and GWC did not give any information where is stopped so I had to start over. Therefore I tend to run smaller jobs in a row, launched by a batch file. That way I may catch what job failed and re-run just that.– user30184Mar 5, 2021 at 14:46

I am sorry i am not a developer so would not know how to update the REST, is it a possibility for the GeoServer roadmap?– AdamwMar 5, 2021 at 16:42
