src.geoserver.database_layers.create_datastore_layer(workspace_name: str, data_store_name: str, layer_name: str, metadata_elem: str = '') → None

Create a GeoServer layer for a given data store if it does not currently exist. Can be used to create layers for a database table, or to create a database view for a custom dynamic query.

Parameters:

  • workspace_name (str) – The name of the workspace the data store is associated to

  • data_store_name (str) – The name of the data store the layer is being created from.

  • layer_name (str) – The name of the new layer. This is the same as the name of the database table if creating a layer from a table.

  • metadata_elem (str = "") – An optional XML str that contains the metadata element used to configure custom SQL queries.

Raises:

HTTPError – If geoserver responds with an error, raises it as an exception since it is unexpected.
