RE: [udig-devel] Tile Caching and UDig

["Joe Dente" <jdente@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your response.

So I guess this means no tile caching or plans for tile caching in the
near future? Darn.  I was hoping there was some existing mechanism that
google and I had missed.  Unfortunately I do not have the time or
resources to devote to this at the moment as we're on a very tight dev
cycle.  I do appreciate the work you've done on tiling and I will
definitely take a look at your plugin when I get a chance.

Thanks for your help.
Joe

Hi Joe; I started a community plugin for this work ... and set it up to 
work with Nasa WorldWind servers, I got tired about the time it came to 
looking at a WMS-C. But I did base all the interfaces on the tile 
caching WMS specification so it should be really easy.

You can find the work here:
- 
http://svn.geotools.org/udig/community/jive/plugins/net.refractions.udig
.community.jody.tile/

The Walkthough 1 instructions cover installing this from the community 
update site. Oh here are some specific instructions as part of online
help:
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Jody

I would be happy to migrate this code into udig trunk if you wanted to 
sign up for svn access and finish WMS-C support.
