Adding a few thoughts to sergeant_york There are three criteria when to tile and when not:
the load on the database server when requesting the layer or layer group the frequency of the user requests for that layer the requirements for currency or data changes in the layer That is why Google, Bing, OSM etc. have such a success. 20+ layers are a huge load on a database, everyone needs a base map as reference and well - the currency is not so good, but then tiling the entire world is no small feat. Use tiling strategically and where it makes sense. If you work in the water business, it may make sense to tile the hydrology layer, or better if you provide maps for property purposes it can make sense to tile the cadastre, if the cadastre changes too quickly then tiling may make no sense, if you're dealing with building permits and you need always the latest information likewise. It is all a question of the purpose of your map. Don't tile just because you can. ----- ____________________________ Dr Christian Maul Project Manager Information Services Branch Department of Sustainability and Environment Level13, Marland House, 570 Bourke Street Melbourne 3000 PO Box 500, East Melbourne Vic 3002 Telephone: +61-3-8636 2325 Telefax: +61-3-8636 2813 -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/How-can-I-requets-multiple-Geowebcache-layer-in-single-request-tp5024598p5025550.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
