If all Shape files have the same attributes and table structure, you could append the Shapes into one file before uploading to GeoServer using ogr2ogr:

One way could be to import them into postgis and set up a view that selects all from those tables. Does it really have to be a single layer? Could you not use a layer group?

I found the "import a directory of shape files" feature in the create a new data store admin page, but I'm not seeing an easy way to dump everything into a map layer. All in a single layer? Does that mean they all have the same set of attributes? Anyways, no, we don't have a way to support that. also, do we have support for esri geo databases? No supported way, but you could try using the geotools OGR data store (there is no plugin packaging for it, you'll have to build from sources): https://github.com/geotools/geotools/tree/master/modules/plugin/ogr Cheers Andrea -- == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
