I am not a tiled map service wizard but I sure thought I could get this done. What I have: a Shapefile with roads in Utah[1]. What I want: to get a background layer for JOSM / Potlatch that highlights the named highways (federal, state and local numbered routes). Why I want this: to (allow people to) fix highway ref relations, a lot of them are broken around here it looks like, and I broke one more yesterday.
What I did: * Styled the Shapefile layer to achieve the visualization I required using the pretty awesome AtlasStyler[2] which lets you just copypaste SLD right into GeoServer. Works like a charm. * Publish the shapefile as a WMS through GeoServer[3]. * Tried to publish a TMS layer using geoserver. Failed. TMS in Geoserver broken or something? I get this [4] error when trying to do anything TMS. * Installed MapProxy[5] and added the GeoServer WMS as a layer definition: layers: - name: utahroads title: Utah road network sources: [utah_cache] caches: utah_cache: grids: [GLOBAL_MERCATOR, global_geodetic_sqrt2] sources: [utah_wms] sources: utah_wms: type: wms req: url: http://localhost:8080/geoserver/schaaltreinen/wms? layers: schaaltreinen:utahroads * Ran MapProxy, tried the demo layer for both 900913 and 4326, looked fine. A few upstream errors from GeoServer, fixed those by increasing the heap space setting for Tomcat. (rediculously low by default). * got the URL for one 900913 tile, copied that and imported into the WMS/TMS layer prefs in JOSM, substituting actual values for {zoom},{x},{y} respectively: http://192.168.1.6:8000/tms/1.0.0/utahroads_EPSG900913/8/261/313.png --> http://192.168.1.6:8000/tms/1.0.0/utahroads_EPSG900913/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png The result is only white tiles, so I'm guessing I entered the disneyland of map projection screw ups. Or is it a bounding box / tile origin issue? I defined a global bounding box for the tile layer.
