Hi,
I'm new member in Geoserver community.
Is it possible to edit SHP files via Geoserver Web interface /attributes or add and edit: new point, line, poligon/?
I mean SHP files that are already published.
Is it possible to post link for solutions?
Thanks

The way to edit a shapefile through the web is using the WFS-Transactional
standard. This is a web interface to perform changes on the underlying data
format, be it shapefile, postgis, oracle, etc.

GeoServer does not ship with a wfs-t client. But there are a number of
them, like uDig, and I think qgis may now support wfs-t. These are both
desktop. On the web there's openlayers, and we've built some geoext
components on top (which we hope to eventually get in to the geoext
library). See

Hi,
I understood.
I have one similar question, pleas see below.
 
Is it possible to edit only Attribute data of already published SHP file via Geoserver?
I mean not with tools like qGis, that are desktop based.
 
I need to use free tool to edit attribute data with Web interface of Geoserver.
Thanks

WFS-T can be used for all kinds of attributes, be it geometry or alphanumeric.
Have a look at the WFS specification, or at the sample requests in the
GeoServer demo section, the request is just a HTTP POST request.
