[Geoserver-users] GeoWebCache: How to test basic configuration

Hi,

i am trying for the first time to make a new gridset. I have read the docs, and seen many examples. There are of course many configuration parameters, but I would like to start at the beginning and start the gridset with as few parameters as possible and then gradually build them into the geowebcache.xml file.

system: Ubuntu 10.04/ Geoserver-2.1.2 / Geowebcache -integrated geoserver version

My question is…how can I really test out the gwc configuration to find out whether it works?

yours,

Rob

My first attempt is the following:

  1. create geowebcache.xml in the gwc directory of GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR

  2. ( Question!! does the geowebcache.xml have to be owned by tomcat6?..what about file permission?)

  3. Obtain the srs extents from http://www.spatialreference.org…in my case they were for EPSG:31467 and therefore

  • Projected Bounds: 3386564.9400, 5237917.9109, 3613579.2251, 6104500.7393
  1. using this as a a template (source: http://geowebcache.org/docs/1.2.2/_sources/configuration/xml/simple.txt) I created my geowebcache.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
