Interesting, I was just thinking along these lines, but doing the pyramid outside of GeoServer instead of inside, see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=49C94E81.40205%40opengeo.org&forum_name=geowebcache-devel GeoServer would just need a generalization method, and then GWC

Hi Michael, I am already using the JTS simpliefier. I am storing my features in DB2, use the db2-ng module and have Features like BorderEurope BorderEurope_100 (Generalised 100 m) BorderEurope_1000 (Generalised 1000m) and so on Andrea: The urgent need is WMS, but it should work for WFS to

Do we have something like pyramids for for vector data ? What I mean is having a FeatureSource (say, the boundary of Europe having 100 000 vertices) and drawing the boundary on a 640x480 image. I really do not need 100 000 points and therefore I make some generalizations, each as its own featu
