RegisterVectorWithGeoServer Task

This task registers a vector with an OGC server so that it can be rendered on a web client. It does not upload vectors to the server, nor does it allow any editing or data manipulation. GeoServer must be able to access the same file system as this task.

Instead of setting parameters, you can use the GeoServer Configuration Template to define connection details. This file is in JSON format. Specify the connection details in this file, then save it as geoserver_conf.json and place it in the resource/server folder of your ENVI installation path. If you choose to set parameters to define the connection details, those settings will override any values defined in the configuration file.
