OpenLayers caching

Question

I have my own data, and I want to create cache images to be used with OpenLayers, I want the format to be WWJ format and 256x256x size, I don't want to create the images, I just want a program that loops though the layer and request all images from my server.

Answer 1

Do you use mapserver or geoserver? If you do, you can think about this one: TileCache. It will automatically create the tiles, for your layer.

and here is the Tutorial of TileCache

Answer 2

I would use the Layer.TileCache object, documented here:

http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/TileCache-js.html

That is used to retrieve your own prerendered tiles, and you can specify file extension, size and url.
