Description:

Hello

I have n cached layers referencing the same gridSet.
I want to send a GetMap request using WMS-C protocol (tiled=true) with a subset of the layers (layers=layer1,layer3,layer7 for instance)
This request is not accepted by gwc which complains that the layer “layer1,layer3,layer7” does not exist.
If i send the GetMap request directly to geoserver, then it is OK but in that case, the individual tiles of each layer are not stored in geowebcache

is that a limitation ?

The reason i want to do this is because the subset of layers is variable (the user selects which layers he wants to see)

It looks like my only solution is to retrieve the individual tiles of the layers and combine them on client side. The problem of this solution is that the network traffic is proportional to the number of layers

Christophe
