Hi We have a large and ever-expanding set of points to show on a web-map. The number of points grows by the day and some points change location by the day. Each point has some associated textual metadata to show on a point-and-click basis on the map.
So, as indicated in other posts, I want a WMS service (using SLDs) for the rendering and a WFS service for the point interrogation. However, here are the wrinkles.. (a) How can we ensure that only the tiles that need to change in response to new/changed points do so? (b) We have our own (high speed) point clustering solution to provide point-clusters at most zoom levels - as we want to display just cluster centres at most zoom-levels (apart from the most 'zoomed-in'). Is there a better point-clustering alternative available in GeoServer? Could I use my own clusters for the different zoom levels? (c) From time to time we may wish to completely recluster all points (like b) - thus leading to the need to replenish all tiles. Right now it's a green-fields situation so I'm looking for any architectural suggestions that use Geoserver and Geowebcache. Any suggestions as to the main building blocks I should be using (including storage etc)? Would be grateful of some direction. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Large-Volatile-Point-Dataset-WMS-and-WFS-tp6961594p6961594.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Geoserver-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users
