Browse SpacePreference Modules
The preferences module allows remote systems to share "preferences" (or other key-value data) usingGeoServer. Each preference must have a non-null String Key and a String value. The very simple interface allows client programs to set and get the preferences. There is also the concept of a "Default" value. The default value is returned if the value has not been set or has been set to NULL.
The Preferences Module is divided into 2 sub-modules. The core module, which is designed to allow access using spring-remoting (provided the server is configured properly) and the web module which handles Web GET/POST requests.
