Is it possible to select a service (WMS / WFS) through the Geoserver REST-API?

I know how to add a workspace through the REST-API, like this

curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XPOST -H "Content-type: text/xml" -d "<workspace><name>workspacename</name></workspace>" %resturl%/workspaces

But I would like to add a service (WMS or WFS or both) through the REST-API. If this is possible I don't have to go the the webadmin-page the select the service manually. Does someone know if this is possible?

  • what do you mean select a service? your new layer will show up in both by default.

  • If I look in the webadmin at the workspace I added through the REST-API. I don't see a mark at the services WMS and WFS.

  • A workspace should contain layers which will show up in the wms and wfs

  • If I want the service to be only WMS, I can select that at the workspace. Am I right?

I think this question is asking whether it's possible (or was possible 2014) to configure whether a set of data can be served as a WMS or WFS etc using the GeoServer 'REST' API.

At the time of the question being asked I think the answer was no.

There was a request GSIP 76 Extend REST API to configure settings and OWS services to add such capability (11 Jun 2014).

The API now provides such capability through the /services/.../settings URL pattern. See the GeoServer OWS Services documentation for details
