[Geoserver-users] Trying to understand Global Settings

I am trying to understand what Global Settings is in GeoServer

http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/webadmin/server/globalsettings.html
<http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/webadmin/server/globalsettings.html&gt;

Do the settings mean that the layers can be hosted globally instead of
locally? (So that others can have access to the maps?)

epyks23,

for others to access your maps, GeoServer must be hosted on a web server, much like any other web site. GeoServer is a Java servlet, so must be hosted on a site that supports the hosting of Java servlets. There are specialist Java servlet hosting providers, or you can use a cloud provider to set up a virtual machine, or you can use the hosting facilities of a client or partner organisation.

The Global Settings in GeoServer control the behaviour of all GeoServer services. Some services and workspaces also have settings that can override these defaults. "Global" in this context means all of GeoServer not the service or workspace-specific settings, not global as in worldwide access.

Kind regards,
Ben.
