is_wfs number Is this publication made available as a WFS service?
is_wfst number Is this publication made available as a WFST service?
publication_permission PublicationPermission[] The list of publication permissions.

Properties ending on _image are Base64-encoded JPEG images on create, but will be URL's to the image cache on retrieval.

Model: Workspace

A Workspace models the state of a workspace with resources and views.

Operation: Update Publication

Discussion

This operation updates a publication declaration, but not the underlying workspace. Use the Operation: Update Workspace operation for that.
The following fields can be updated:

  • name
  • description
  • configuration
  • concurrent_use_min
  • concurrent_use_max
  • user_mode
  • thumbnail_image
  • logo_url
  • logo_type
  • tags
  • is_wfs
  • is_wfst
  • is_wms
  • publication_permission

Fields: Model: Publication

Request

POST /api/3/publication/123 

{
    "name": "Test2",
    "publication_permission": [
        {
            "scope": "usergroup",
            "usergroup": {
                "id": 25
            }
        }
    ]
}

Example Response (http 200)

On success, returns the full updated publication.
Don't rely on this, this operation will return an empty response in the future (and http code 204).

Example Response (http 400)

{
    "code": "field_not_unique",
    "message": "Uniqueness check failed: Another item with this name value 'test' already exists.",
}

Operation: Duplicate Publication

Discussion

This operation creates a new publication by duplicating an existing one.

Request

POST /api/3/publication/123/duplicate

Response (http 200)

Returns the full duplicated publication.

Operation: Delete Publication

Discussion

This operation deletes an existing publication (and workspace).

Request

DELETE /api/3/publication/123

Example Response (http 204)

No content

Example Response (http 404)

{
    "code": "not_found",
    "message": "Publication with id '123' was not found."
}

Operation: Update Workspace

Discussion

This operation updates a workspace declaration.

  • A Workspace cannot be create or deleted, it is always part of a Publication.

The following fields can be updated:

  • configuration
  • workspace_resource

Fields: Model: Workspace

Request

POST /api/3/workspace/123 

{
    "workspace_resource": [
        {
            "order": 0,
            "role": "workspace",
            "resource": {
                "id": 25
            }
        }
    ]
}

Example Response (http 200)

Example Response (http 404)

{

}
