Earlier we talked about including GWC in the GeoServer .1.7.x bundle; at the time I was all for it - adding additional modules to our sample app is a good idea.
Today I actually got to run GWC and have found there is no way to use it correctly; that is the server is incomplete at this time. I have created a bug report here: - http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2173 But the bug report amounts to a clarification on this page: - http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WMS_Tiling_Client_Recommendation The WMSC idea is an addition to an existing WMS; as such we need to add some TileSet information to the VendorSpecificCapabilities. As written GWC is not producing a valid WMT_MS_Capabilities document (and I cannot use it for my uDig project). Since I am working for a customer on GWC support I am looking into how to fix this real soon/right now. My best idea is to see if the GWC community module can contribute an xml fragment to the WMS capabilities document; as such I would like to have this functionality ready for the 1.7.x release. At the very least we should not include GWC in its current state; it would promote the development clients that are not correct. I will be available to chat about this in the meeting tomorrow.
