Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to configure a vector grid in geoserver
somehow. By vector grids, I mean something along the lines of:
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/extension/grid.html -
especially line grids as in the last example on this page.
Best regards,
Akos

Easy, you can’t.
A relatively easy path would be to create a WPS process wrapping the
grid creation, have it generate a new layer by chaining it into gs:Import,
and then use the layer for rendering.
A nicer path is what Chris discussed on the geoserver-devel mailing list
one/two weeks ago, which is having layers in GeoServer being directly
powered by a WPS process, the grid case would be a nice fit for the
“compute on the fly” case.
Uh, I guess another option would be to have the WPS process being
used as a “odd” rendering transformation, one that actually takes
no data in input, and just generates it in output. You’d just need
whatever fake data source only for the sake of having one layer
you can actually call via WMS
Cheers
