Hi, I'm investigation Java platforms to use for a GIS application. I have had a read through the GeoTools user documentation but I'm struggling to resolve a few questions and I was wondering if people with more knowledge of the APIs could give me a heads up or point me in the general direction for answers.
I am looking for a platform that provides a per-formant GIS when displaying raster maps, similar in speed to some like google maps. I'm interested in using GeoServer as a backend WMS system and would like to use some form of image tiling similar to web based GIS apps so that tiles can be loaded as required when the user drags the map around. I've looked at some of the examples but they they appear to request one image from the server. Is tiling possible, I can't seem to find any information about it. I am also looking to display vector based information such as OS MasterMap layer. I notice that GeoTools supports GML but it isn't clear to me how this is obtained from a server. Again the user will need to easily drag the map around at a reasonable zoom level. Finally icons are required to be displayed on the map and move when the map is dragged. I'm sorry if I'm asking some basic questions here but I was struggling to find the information in the user guide.
