[Geoserver-devel] GWC DefaultTileLayerCatalog: make baseDirectory configurable [in reference to coverage caching community proposal]

Hi list,

in reference to the community proposal for Coverage caching 1 I sent the past week, we would like to use a separated tileLayerCatalog for that module in order to not mix standard GWC tile layers with the coverage ones.
By this way, whenever the module is removed from GeoServer, the additional Configuration instance specified there isn’t used anymore by the TileLayerDispatcher which won’t access the coverage tileLayer.

Note that the current DefaultTileLayerCatalog implementation has a baseDirectory field specifying the location where the GWC Tile layer catalog is stored.

However, that is somehow “hardcoded”.

private static final String LAYERINFO_DIRECTORY = “gwc-layers”;
private final String baseDirectory;

DefaultTileLayerCatalog(GeoServerResourceLoader resourceLoader, XStream
configuredXstream) throws IOException {
this.baseDirectory = LAYERINFO_DIRECTORY;

}

No way to customize the baseDirectory.

We would like to customize that by adding a DefaultTileLayerCatalog constructor containing a third “baseDirectory” parameter. The old constructor will use this new one providing LAYERINFO_DIRECTORY as argument.

What do you think about it? Does it sounds reasonable?

Please, let us know.
Best Regards,
Daniele
