| Re: [udig-devel] Tile Caching and UDig | 
Hi Joe; I started a community plugin for this work ... and set it up to 
work with Nasa WorldWind servers, I got tired about the time it came to 
looking at a WMS-C. But I did base all the interfaces on the tile 
caching WMS specification so it should be really easy.
You can find the work here:
- 
http://svn.geotools.org/udig/community/jive/plugins/net.refractions.udig.community.jody.tile/
The Walkthough 1 instructions cover installing this from the community 
update site. Oh here are some specific instructions as part of online help:
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Jody
I would be happy to migrate this code into udig trunk if you wanted to 
sign up for svn access and finish WMS-C support.

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
