Summary
We had a concise introduction to the GeoServer web interface. Hopefully, you are now more confident with every section, and you have a good idea of how they work.
Specifically, we covered how you can retrieve information on general configuration, server status, and logs. Next, we explored the interface section where you can configure data access, create new layers, and publish them.
In this chapter, we also covered service-specific configurations for WFS, WMS, and WCS.
GeoServer's developers constantly take great efforts to enforce standard compliance. In this area, you can tune the services and discover the vendor options that GeoServer offers you.
Finally, we explored two areas that were greatly improved in recent GeoServer releases--caching and security configuration.
All of these topics will be further explored in the following chapters.
In the next chapter, we will explore data stores. You will add new data to GeoServer. Not only will you use the shapefile and PostGIS built-in data...
