[Geoserver-devel] GS 2.1.0 RC1 + GWC

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

Hi There,

Is there any way of removing GWC from GeoServer before deployment?

I used to do this by removing the GWC*.jar files from the lib, but it seems to be a lot tighter integrated now. I have just tried this with GS 2.1.0 RC1, and funny things happen in the Geoserver admin page, like when trying to add or edit styles telling you the page has expired! When checking through the log trace then it has an issue with the missing GWC classes!!

I have no use for GWC at the present, and it’s is not very stable when scaling up, for example when running against Multiple JVMs in Oracle Application Server (In fact not stable is putting it lightly!) so the need to be able to disable / remove is a necessity.

If anyone has any help here it would be much appreciated – even if there is a flag in the web.xml where we can turn on or off.

Thanks,

Steve

I am not 100% sure but I think if you should remove gwc* web-gwc* and geowebcache* you should catch pretty much everything. Regardless the answer is yes, even with the tighter integration you should be able to completely diable gwc. If not it is a bug.

shutting down tomcat once geoserver.war is deployed and deleting *gwc*
from WEB-INF/lib works for me. You probably deleted only gwc* and got
web-gwc.jar still in there?

Could you describe better the situation/problems you face? may be
there's a simple solution but I don't quite understand what's going on
from what you're saying.
