Dear Sir/Madam,
How to handle requests for Geoserver and make the geoserver to work faster. I am using layer switcher. For each layer it is taking more requests. how to control that. ?

Hi,
probably you may:
0. be sure that you are caching tiles on the client side (this should be transparent using get requests)

  1. start caching data on the server side: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/geowebcache/using.html
  2. optimize datasources (optimizing rasters, simplifying geometries, etc)
  3. optimize queries (using tiling, using png8, etc)
  4. clusterize geoservers

If you need more details, please post some of the query you are using.
Cheers,
Carlo

Vikram,

I am using "sample map" as the base layer and 100 overlays(single tile).

Total no. of request is around 125 to geoserver on zoom/pan for one time.
This map will be used by n number of users.

Probably adding a bit less then 100 layers to the map component will solve
most of your problems :).

If you need all of those layers try setting 'visibility=false' to most of
them this may avoid sending hundreds of queries for not visible (z-index)
layers.

To understand if you need a cluster of geoserver, could you specify what
will be the size of 'n' (10, 100, 1000, 10.000 or more)?

*These are my problems....*
1. Geoserver is not responding properly
2. Responses is time consuming

Mmm this may never (or very rarely) happen.... Which kind of store you are
using? (huge shapefile?)
Consider pre-processing the data before ingestion to optimize runtime
queries.
btw which GeoServer version are you using?

*My queries.....*
1. How to control the above mentioned requests...?

Consider also installing the control flow module:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/controlflow/index.html

2. Right now I am accessing GeoWebCache from this URL *"../geoserver/gwc/service/wms".
*How to access cached tiles directly...?

Look at this example:
http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/tschaub/gwc/examples/geowebcache.html

Try also WMTS:
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/wmts.html

3. How to configure Geoserver for production environment. I had a glance
in documentation of geoserver about configuring. Is that enough or some
more modification is needed ?

Read carefully this documentation:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/production/index.html

Generally speaking applying those suggestion you may have a quite
performant environment, anyhow
if you need more support for your production environment you may also
consider contacting technical commercial support:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Commercial+Support

Cheers,
Carlo

Hi Vikram,

I’m using tomcat 7 for Geoserver 2.4.0 in Windows XP platform. Check my JVM configuration below.It may help u.

1.Right click on tomcat service icon and goto configure

2.Update below values in ‘Java’ as shown in this screenshot.

Java Virtual Machine:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll

Java Classpath:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\bin\tomcat-juli.jar

Java Options:

-Dcatalina.home=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0
-Dcatalina.base=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\endorsed
-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\temp
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\conf\logging.properties
-XX:NewSize=256m
-XX:MaxNewSize=256m
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-verbose:gc
-XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

Memory values should be set as per your RAM. Refer page number 285 in GeoServer Beginner’s Guide [eBook].pdf

Ciao Vikram,

I think you are still missing the following 2 steps:

  1. Configure a proxy to route requests to the configured tomcat instances:
    http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/proxy-howto.html

  2. Configure the proxy url on geoserver:
    http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/webadmin/server/globalsettings.html

PS: please keep the ML into the loop.

Cheers,
Carlo
