Hi Frans, Yes, Mapnik is yet another WMS/WMTS server which specializes in rendering OSM or GDAL/OGR data as fast and beautiful tiles.
Mapserver and Geoserver also have their own renderers, and their own cache tile systems (Mapcache, GeoWebCache). They are also implementing other OGC standards like WFS. As far as i know Mapnik does not support such a standard and is not planning to. Of course, the Mapnik folks can probably explain main features and differences much better than me. Another minor difference is that Mapnik isn't an OSGeo project, compared to the two other servers you mentionned. Hope it helps Best, Nick 2011/12/10 Frans Thamura <fr...@meruvian.org> > hi all > > anyone can help me, why Mapnik is not map server if we campare with > GeoSErver and MapSErver > > it is rendering, but if it is rendering server, why we cannot put > mapnik in Geoserver/Mapserver environment > anyone can help? > > > > -- > Frans Thamura (曽志胜) > Shadow Master and Lead Investor > Meruvian. > Integrated Hypermedia Java Solution Provider. > > Mobile: +628557888699 > Blog: http://blogs.mervpolis.com/roller/flatburger (id) > > FB: http://www.facebook.com/meruvian > TW: http://www.twitter.com/meruvian / @meruvian > Website: http://www.meruvian.org > > "We grow because we share the same belief." > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > Discuss@lists.osgeo.org > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss >
