Geowebcache stand alone

[Abelon38]

Hi there!

I wonder if Geowebcache stand alone works with Hajk? I have tried with WMS and WMTS från my Geowebcacache (Stand alone) without success. Getting bad request whatever I do. From Geoserver and QGIS-server WMS works well but not the stand alone version of GWC. I would appreciate any idea!

Thanks
Abel

Generally speaking, I see no reason why responses from GeoServer's built-in GWC would differ from stand-alone GWC. Having said that, our organisation uses the built-in GWC, so I do not know for sure.

In GeoServer (and probably in GWC) you must setup the resolutions for a gridset properly. You must match that resolution gridset with the one you supply to Hajk (in your map's JSON config, see the resolutions array). My best guess is that there's some mismatch here. What does the response from GWC say?

Thanks Jacob!

It seams that Hajk doesn't have support for GWC Stand alone yet. Today I spended some hours with a good colleague from Sweco and the conclusion was that some development is needed if we want to use WMS and WMTS from GWC in Hajk.

I will be happy to see that development :)

Have great day!

That's correct @Abelon38, my assumption was wrong. BTW, as a coincidence this issue showed up yesterday. 😉

@Abelon38 After our analysis that some work needs to be done in Hajk admin to support a stand-alone GWC server, Nacka has initiated an effort to fix this at least for their use-case and give back to the Hajk community. See issue #1469 linked by Jacob and it's upcoming PR.

Thanks for the update Martin! 😉
