[mapserver-users] Updating MapCache on feature edits

[Seth G]

Hi list,

I have a few MapServer layers based on data that can be edited at any 
time. In practice this usually happens in short bursts every month or 
so. The remaining time the layers would benefit greatly from using a 
tile cache.

Are there any suggested methods on how to automatically 
purge/delete/change the cache when an edit happens when using MapServer 
and Mapcache?

I see that GeoWebCache/Geoserver allows a GeoRSS feed to invalidate 
features 
http://geowebcache.org/docs/current/configuration/layers/georss.html

The ows_updatesequence metadata parameter for a WMS layer looks like it 
could be used somehow (see 
http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#web-object-metadata), but it 
seems that custom dimensions need to be requested by the client, and any 
Mapcache configurations would need Apache to be restarted.

Any best practices, or solutions appreciated,

Seth
