[Geoserver-users] GeoServer ImageMosaic via REST

Hi All,

My team are trying to create new ImageMosaic coverages via the REST
interface. We are successfully able to create imagemosaics from imagery
existing on the local file system via the GeoServer Web UI. However, the
methods for creating ImageMosaics via REST seem limited.

E.g:

Image Files exist in:
/filepath/image_dir/image1.tif
/filepath/image_dir/image2.tif
/filepath/image_dir/image3.tif

When using the UI geoserver will build the granule index shapefile and will
allow the creation of a new layer. I have a lot of experience configuring
from the UI and adding datastores.properties, indexer, regex and dimensions
etc. I would have expected the same functionality to be available through
REST, however it is not?

Documentation instead refers to the modifying or uploading files to this
location, this is impractical as we are dealing with hundreds of large TIF
files.

http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/examples/curl.html#uploading-and-modifying-a-image-mosaic

We have also had a look at the gsconfig python module, however this still
eludes to the fact that we must upload images using
cat.create_imagemosaic(images.zip)


Any comments/experiences welcomed.
