Per layer storage configuration is a new feature in GWC 1.8 as is the memory storage. Unfortunately, these two features were added completely independently so you can specify whether a layer should use local file storage or the new S3 store, but not whether it should use the memory store or not. Both configurable storage and memory storage are built as wrappers around other stores. The memory store wraps one other stores and provides in memory caching on top of it, while the composite store wraps several stores, and delegates to the appropriate store for the layer. I think it should be possible to wrap the composite store inside the memory store. So everything will use in memory caching, and the more persistent storage underneath will be configurable. This is something that still needs testing though. Ideally we would have this all worked out before the beta on the 18th but I don't know that anyone has time to work on it. I believe both features were added as development funded by some specific client. Each client is probably happy with their feature as is and would require some cajoling to fund that development, and the developers involved are working on other things now as well. Otherwise it's a matter of finding a developer who can justify working on this. If you have some Java development capability you can spare, using that to implement this yourself would very much be the best way to ensure that per layer configuration of in memory caching is working. The geowebcache-devel mailing list would be the best place to ask about this. -- Kevin Michael Smith [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Geoserver-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users
