Hi Folks, I'm developing an application which needs to be able to work when network access may be poor. I would like OpenLayers to display a default base map layer from a local hard drive, for example using an independent tile cache under these circumstances.
At first I thought TileCache (www.tilecache.org) might work this way. However, I tried an experiment using TileCache with network access (to the WMS) disabled, and TileCache stalled because it was trying to access the remote WMS. This happened when I stopped and restarted the test application that uses OpenLayers. It appears that TileCache does not save enough cache state information to work independently from the WMS, but I haven't examined the code so that's just a guess. I looked through its config params and didn't see anything that seemed likely to help. Has anyone found a way to have OpenLayers display a locally sourced map as a default base map, without needing a local WMS or network access? Or alternatively, does anyone know a way to make TileCache serve cached map tiles when the WMS becomes unavailable? Thanks very much!
