Hey, Attached is the diff with my fixes to WMS-C.

Not for the lack of trying, I couldn't find any procedure for submitting a 
patch file so figured I would simply send it to the devel list, at least then 
its somewhere :)

If there is a page describing this could someone send me the link so I can 
follow the correct procedure next time?

cheers,

John

Subject: RE: [udig-devel] WMS-C Caching / MapInfo .TAB export

Thanks for that Emily, greatly appreciated.

I have fixed 4 issues related to the ones I listed last week:

* NPE on restart with WMS-C layers (2 issues there)
        ** Check for null on sequenceNumber, from capabilities doc, if 
sequenceNumber is null (where NPE was thrown) assume updated and update the 
capabilities ref
        ** Unique ID in catalogue now truly unique. (issue was 
org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem doesn't implement the 
hashcode method thus using the inherited one from Object)
* Disk Cache location now used instead of default "c:\tilecache" (in 2 spots 
calling incorrect persistence singleton 'CatalogPlugin', should be 
'ProjectPlugin')

I'm not sure how to actually DO a patch from svn (I have been told that's how 
it's done), but I will have a look at the uDig wiki for the process and release 
these fixes before moving on.

I have had little success locating the memory leak which is killing the app 
when pre-loading (into disk cache & memory cache) the entire cache. This is 
eluding me completely, I have tried to do some profiling on the memory but will 
no success. One point to note is, I think the "Tiled Rendering System" has a 
big memory leak. With a few zooms it's easy to more than double the memory 
footprint of uDig and moving around for a few minutes the entire allocation of 
memory is used (I have mine set to 1024mb).

Notes:

At first I thought this maybe the desired functionality but after looking 
closely: starting memory is 122,836k (from max extent, on a restart of uDig, 
using the Tiled Rendering System) zooming in once (zoom-in button) memory 
footprint goes up-to 134,720k, that's a huge jump when there are no tiles 
actually retrieved from the tile server, this is only image processing on the 
client. Changing to NOT using the Tiled Rendering System sees memory down to 
(restart uDig & at max extend) 111,004k, and a single zoom is 114,324k. Zooming 
closer with the Tiled Rendering system off yields the same result, memory DOES 
increased but not as harshly. This is what pointed my initial thoughts to the 
Tiled Rendering System, I am probably far off :). Can anyone shed light on 
this? I wonder if this has anything to do with the preloading of the tiles?

SO... After releasing the above fixes, I will, for the time being put aside the 
pre-loading tiles issue and will start working on the addition of a plug-in 
that will allow users to specify an "area of interest" from a selected feature 
(WFS) then an operation that will allow the export of this bounded "area of 
interest".

Anyone have any suggestions how I should go about representing this in uDig?

I thought it would be nice to allow the User to right click on a feature (or 
multiple features) then an operation would be to "Add as area of interest" and 
possibly "Add to Area of interest..." (that would be a wizard, to select an 
existing AOI). Then a new view "Areas Of Interest" which would look similar to 
the Layer View but with the WMS-C node as a parent and the features as children 
of that layer(s).

Another possibility would be to extend the Layer view to show these Area Of 
Interest's. This would be the nice way to represent it, but might feel 
"cluttered" like there is too much going on in there already and might confuse 
the User?


Ok I'll stop now, if you're still reading, great and thanks.

Fyi, Cameron Shorter (Geospatial Architect here at LISAsoft) has a blog with 
some more information about our project 
(http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2009/01/loading-tilecache-images-onto-mapinfo_13.html),
 have a read.


Cheers and Happy Trails!


John

Hello John,

Have a look in the WMSTileSet.java class at the updateID().
Theoretically this method should return a unique identifier for each
layer that is supposed to be consistent across runs (at the moment it
doesn't look like it does that).
