Hi Andrea and Imran Thank you for your thoughts.
To give you a background I am helping to support customers who are looking at GeoServer for setting up a WMS for INSPIRE. Many of these are GIS Analysts and not Developers. So although they can setup something on their laptop, I am trying to write some guides on how to move that to a production environment. Otherwise they will just pay up money and get proprietary software in. Just to confirm my process 1) Download and install JAVA JDK - i will use 32 bit from now on even if I am on a 64 bit windows machine 2) Download the JDK versions of the JAI and Image I/O and install them as normal Does this mean they will now be added as the Natives? Or do I need to add them to an Environment Variable? 3) Then install Tomcat pointing to JDK and point to server version by changing the JVM.cfg file. Give it some extra HEAP and add the extra JAVA Options. Restart Tomcat 4) Then deploy the geoserver WAR file using Tomcat Manager Then add the data as a store, add SLD etc. I just want to confirm this process is spot on Thanks Tim PS Will add some documentation when I have finished Got quite a bit about using Amazon and more people are interested in using 'cloud' -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Andrea Aime Sent: Tue 3/22/2011 21:37 To: Imran Rajjad Cc: Tim Martin; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] Slow response time On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 9:47 PM, Imran Rajjad <[email protected]> wrote: > The native JAI is really something which I have seen people taking > forgranted and there are no clear lines on how to make Geoserver > register Natve JAI and Image I/O support.

Btw , if you have a different perpective to contribute to the documentation, with more details, more informations, new tutorials, don't hesitate to contribute patches for the documentation, it's an open source project and you can make a difference there. The documentation is in svn, we have a guide on how to write more here: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/docguide/ I've been doing this job for too long, it does not even occurr to me to think that I have to tell people to restart the process after installing a native libary, or that it has to be in the search path: when you see these things, you're in the perfect position to help out for the docs Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
