Developer’s Corner: Disk Quota Clustering in GeoWebCache

Blog ‐ Posted on 15.03.2013 by simone giannecchini

Dear All,recently one of our clients asked us to work on GeoWebCache to improve its support for clustered deployments.As you might know GeoWebCache had historically problems in enterprise set-ups where multiple instances where used, with or without disk-quota enabled, in front of the same cache all with the possibility to not only read existing tiles but also to create new tiles (hence acting as writer). This was due to various existing mechanisms (e.g. metastore) trying to acquire exclusive locks on the same objects hence preventing multiple instances of GeoWebCache to work in parallel.In order to tackle the various limitations, the...

Tips & Tricks: GeoWebCache Tweaks Checklist

Blog ‐ Posted on 19.02.2013 by simone giannecchini

Dear All, during a discussion I recently had  with a client about how to put together an enterprise deployment of GeoWebCache we went over a few tweaks coming from previous deployments which I thought would have been interesting to summarise on a blog post Client side caching of tiles GeoWebCache, as most tile caching systems, is extremely fast and efficient at serving out tiles therefore you might not think about fiddling with client-side caching. Nevertheless, in our experience we found out it is usually good practice to always try and explicitly control the HTTP Caching Headers for tiles served via GWC,...
