WMS integration: let GWC sit in front of the GeoServer WMS to serve tiled content
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-4163
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4163
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: GWC, WMS
Affects Versions: 2.1-beta1
Reporter: Gabriel Roldán
Assignee: Gabriel Roldán
Fix For: 2.1-beta2
The idea is to let GWC serve tile requests issued to the regular GeoServer WMS _iif_ the request matches a tile for a configured GWC layer, and defer to the regular WMS otherwise.
If the request matches a tile and it's seeded, the cached tile is served, otherwise it's created through the GeoServer WMS and cached, then served.
This will be disabled by default and will benefit from integration with the GWC disk-quota module so that the administrator is in control of the cache size.
(side note: MapServer is gonna implement something like this as they said in a FOSS4G presentation, and by that time I already had this working on a git branch. We'll be trying to collaborate -at least in what respects to general considerations- on this and other tiling issues on the newly created osgeo tiling mailing list)
