[Geoserver-users] Very basic question - Geowebcache <> Geoserver

Hi,

You can use geowebcache in addition to integrated layers.

Edit file

/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml

Add section like

GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR

/users/geoserver/data/gwc

Now write geowebcache.xml, save it into the GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR and restart the server. Work at least for me. After doing this the integrated GWC has the layers from Geoserver plus layers defined in geowebcache.xml.

Thanks for your quick reply, yes I knew that was available

??Doesn’t the integrated Geowebcache show the tiled layers by retrieving the GeoServer GetCapabilities - So there isn’t a specific geowebcache.xml I can look at

I need to build as separate servers to investigate some service configuration & scaling options that we are thinking about

So I need to figure out what should be in my geowebcache.xml

I have got my GeoServer configured with some vector data sets in several postGIS DBs

I have configured GeoServer layers & can see these via the view Layers page

I can’t seem to figure out how to configure Geowebcache to reference the Layers in Geoserver

Note I have Geowebcache and Geoserver deployed to separate WebApp servers

Hope someone can share a geowebcache.xml and the equivalent GeoServer Layer configurations

GeoServer ships with GeoWebCache integrated into it, no need to deploy it as a separate applications.

Unless you changed the default, all your layers are also already published as tile caches too

Cheers
