Hello ALL!
I dig into MapCache now and my modest comprehension is:
1) MapCache uses Mapserv for seeding tiles or more exactly -
sends WMS request to Mapserv for getting a map:
<source>....</source> section in a mapcache.xml file
2) Ol uses MapCache for rendering that tiles or more exactly -
sends WMS(or other) request to MapCache:
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.TileWMS(({
url: 'myhost/mapcache/?',
params: {'LAYERS': 'mytileset'},
serverType: 'mapserver'
}))
})
where
/mapcache/ is path to a mapcache.xml(aliased through Apache),
'mytileset' is <tileset name="mytileset"> section in a mapcache.xml file
3)The Seeding and the rendering needs other configuration of mapcache.xml
file(it is needs clarification).
4)The seeding may be through:
mapcache_seed -c mapcache.xml -t mytileset-g mygrid
or
during a certain map area is requested by client (it is needs clarification).
Thanks for any correction.
Best regards.
