[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-2173) Add GWC to GeoServer bundle

Add GWC to GeoServer bundle
---------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2173
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2173
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: GWC, WMS
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0-RC1
            Reporter: Jody Garnett
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

I noticed when writing a client today that GWC does not return a valid WMT_MT_Capabilities document; we are considering bundling up GWC with the 1.7.0 release and need to fix this one.

There are two ways to *notice* that a WMC server is around:
* The vendor specific parameters section of GeoServer WMS should include a section describing the tile sets
* The GWC can cough up a valid WMS Capabilities document to do the same

Either of these would work; doing neither would facilitate the creation of invalid clients.

I have updated the page here to make sure the requirement for a complete WMT_MT_Capabilities document is clear:
* http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WMS_Tiling_Client_Recommendation

I would like to make the GWC community module contribute a vendor specific parameters section to the WMS Capabilities document.
