[mapguide-users] Generate map tiles from Oracle data

[Zac Spitzer]

I'm pretty much certain if the user has access and the tile exists,
depending on the viewing
technology the schema is bypassed. The tile cache service will
actually also create tile folders
for scales which are outside the scale range if requested.

Basically, it comes down to legends in viewers, both fusion and the
classic viewers have legends
which slow things down as they enumerate all the layers and
featuresources in the map for each
user. The upcoming schema caching RFC will really help.

If you simply access the map as a layer via openlayers, you can
bypasss all of that
and produce an extremely very scalable solution, alas with no legend.

Using my httpTileCache patch for openlayers you can actually
completely bypass the mapguide server
in the above configuration and serve your map tiles ( with cache
semantics ie proxyable ) via something
extremely fast and lighweight like nginx
