[Geoserver-devel] tilecache client code in Java around?

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

Dear all,

I'm in the specification phase for a simple mobile GeoServer client
based on Android (Java).

I think there exist some WMS viewers but:

Is there any application/project around which reads GeoServer
tilecache API preferrably in JavaSE/JavaME open source? (i.e. not
necessarily restricted to Android's Java)

Yours, Stefan

Hi Stefan,

There was some stuff in GeoTools for doing tiled WMS, but I think it may
have been removed. I am told it lives in udig now so it may be worth
checking out. Although i am not sure if it will be lightweight enough to
run on Android (fully admitting i am ignorant to what limitations are
placed on Java).

Many thanks, Justin!

And I assume the GeoWebCache option available in GeoServer is some
sort of implementation of OGC's WMTS tile cache document (draft)?

Yours, Stefan

GWC 1.2.0 will support WMTS (the version that OGC is voting on now, currently only the KVP scheme), so you can grab a nightly if you need it now. It'll probably make its way into GS 2.0.1.

Note that WMTS is a pain to configure manually unless you use one of the "well known scale sets", and the getcapabilities document for automatic configuration is rather verbose. I haven't checked how good the latest generation of phones is at parsing XML, can't be too bad since they render HTML locally, but it's something to keep in mind.

Couple of other thoughts:
If spherical mercator is sufficient, then you can use any MS Virtual Earth (quadkeys) or Google Maps (x,y,z template) compatible client as well.

Hi Stefan,

you may want to take a look at gvSIG Mobile: <http://www.gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-mobile/gvSIG-Mobile-en/view?set_language=en&gt;

There seems to be a port to Android in progress: <http://tinyurl.com/yhknpnb&gt;

Cheers,
Gabriel
