[udig-devel] Tile Caching and UDig

[Joe Dente]

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to use UDig with a tile caching WMS? Is UDig capable of
being a WMS-C compatible client? 

 

We've been using UDig as the GIS framework in our rcp application for a
while now.  We used to store and process shapefiles locally and recently
decided that we needed the performance benefits of a WMS server that
handles tile caching.  I've been experimenting with Geoserver +
Geowebcache lately and trying to determine what it would take for UDig
to drive these components.  Geowebcache has its own set of problems in
its early beta stage, but most of these problems are fairly simple to
get around.  I've been able to drive my Geowebcache + Geoserver setup
using Openlayers, but have been unable to do so with UDig.  It appears
to me that UDig has no knowledge of tiling, or more simply put it is not
a WMS-C capable client.  Is this correct? Are there any plans to make
UDig a WMS-C capable client? Is there any way to hook into a tiling
Geoserver with UDig (using other plugins, TileCache instead of
Geowebcache, or any other mechanism)?

 

Thanks,

Joe
