Description

I have just recently updated to GeoServer 2.1-RC5, with built in Geowebcache 1.3-RC1 from GeoServer 2.1.2 with built in Geowebcache 1.2.6.
I had a projection defined in my geowebcache.xml file (EPSG:3005) to allow for caching a projection other than 900913 & 4326. It was working and I had cached 8 zoom levels.
When I upgraded, my custom projection no longer showed up as a caching option in the geowebcache demos page for the layergroup that geowebcache.xml has defined.
I have attached the file geowebcache.xml .. in trying to fix the error I altered the geowebcache version in the xml to say 1.3.0 (that was all I altered).

The layergroup that I am trying to cache is openstreetmap data that has been subdivided into many tables (for ease of styling) in PostGIS (version 8.4) and imported into Geoserver.
FYI, I do not have Native JAI & Native JAI ImageIO installed.

Sorry, should read 'upgraded from GeoServer 2.1-RC5, with built in Geowebcache 1.2.6 to GeoServer 2.1.2 with built in Geowebcache 1.3-RC1'.

Hi Hailey,

looks like you already found out you need to name your layer from geowebcache.xml different than the one from geoserver. It's been like that for a while though I'm not sure for how long. On the bright side, ability to fully configure the GeoServer layers through the GeoServer UI plus defining gridsets is coming soon. Not on this week's release, but it's gonna be on trunk this week I hope. Check the following screenshots to get a sense of what I mean.

Also, although this functionality will not be included on 2.1.3, I do have a 2.1.x build with it, it would be great if you want to test it. Let me know if you're interested so I send you a link.

best regards,
Gabriel

Hello,

We also had a geowebcache.xml configuration with the same named layers as GeoServer's layers. I had no idea whatsoever why it failed, but the solution was like you implied here to make sure the layer names are different. I think it's bad that there is nothing to see in the logs from geoserver about this. If equal names are causing problems, GeoServer / GWC should at least output an ERROR entry upon startup saying something about this requirement that's broken. This has cost us hours of experimenting to no end, as I had little to go on... Should I submit a separate issue for this?

Regards,
Anders

Update: as per the resolution of GEOS-4460, it shouldn't be needed to create a separate layer anymore. Please try out a trunk nightly build and configure the layer tile caching options through the UI, and report back on any issue?

Update update: this is of course alpha quality hence only trunk. We could consider backporting to the stable series once/if we test it on trunk enough and fix issues until it can be considered stable/production quality.

Marking as resolved, as in 2.2.x a separate layer configuration shouldn't be needed anymore and you can configure extra gridsets on a per tile layer basis through the UI
