| [udig-devel] Tile Caching and UDig |
|
Hi all, Is it possible to use UDig with a tile caching WMS? Is UDig capable
of being a WMS-C compatible client? We’ve been using UDig as the GIS framework in our rcp application
for a while now. We used to store and process shapefiles locally and
recently decided that we needed the performance benefits of a WMS server that
handles tile caching. I’ve been experimenting with Geoserver +
Geowebcache lately and trying to determine what it would take for UDig to drive
these components. Geowebcache has its own set of problems in its early
beta stage, but most of these problems are fairly simple to get around. I’ve
been able to drive my Geowebcache + Geoserver setup using Openlayers, but have
been unable to do so with UDig. It appears to me that UDig has no
knowledge of tiling, or more simply put it is not a WMS-C capable client. Is
this correct? Are there any plans to make UDig a WMS-C capable client? Is there
any way to hook into a tiling Geoserver with UDig (using other plugins,
TileCache instead of Geowebcache, or any other mechanism)? Thanks, Joe |
