Is it possible to overlay any Geoserver layer on Virtual Earth Map , without
using openlayers.( other than with overlay features from a GeoRSS feed)
Thanks

Yes and No. Yes you can, but you will need to accomplish the VE Quadkey to
BBOX conversion. So no AFAIK there is no native support for VE Quadkeys in
Geoserver/WMS. You can create a QuadKeyToBox servlet as a
converter/passthorugh.
You can find code and explanations here:
http://viavirtualearth.com/vve/Articles/WMS.ashx
Although their code sample has a bug AFAICT in the QuadKeyToBox function.
I have modded my local copy of Geoserver to support QuadKeyToBox I didn't
want the extra HTTP overhead.
I attached my VEQuadKeyToBbox.java you are welcome to take a look. No
Warranties.
In the future I will be happy to "do it the right way" and donate the code
but I do not know the correct/preferred approach.

Hi,
sorry I didn't see this one earlier today.
http://Geowebcache.org is a servlet that supports Virtual Earth + does tile caching for you.
We are currently working on integrating it into GeoServer, most likely the 1.7.0 release. It's possible that GWC would be responsible for these types of translations (set cache time to zero and it will pass it to the backend without too much overhead).

That would be great. We are looking VE Support, Tile Caching and
MetaTiling. I am a little familiar with GeoWEbCache and was thinking of
giving it a try. I am serving 40M tiles a months and plan to scale to
250M tiles / month.
I looked on the site and there is no docs on the VE Support, but I
gather you are saying if I pass in a Quadkey GeoWebCache will do the
Quadkey to BBOX conversion.
But we also have some "tracking" requirements where we would need to
track the number of tiles served etc (even cached), so we would probably
need to mod GeoWebCache to do that unless we can register a
class/callback to be called for each request or something.

Sorry, I realized that I never got around to writing any docs after I sent the last email.
I have put up some minimalistic notes now, both for Google Maps and Virtual Earth:
http://geowebcache.org/trac/wiki/virtual_earth
Regarding the mod, wait until 0.8 is out (or go to the subversion repository). It uses the Spring framework and there's a nice place where we could add an extension point for this kind of tracking.

Yup, if you use openlayers. Set up a standard ol map with a projection of 900913, add the virtual earth layer, and then add a wms layer on top.
In your geoserver install there should bea n example that does just this at:
