Re: [Geoserver-users] Help with GeoWebCache

Luis,
Back to your original question, where one layer didn't run properly in 
the GWC demos; Does that layer load correctly in the geoserver Layer 
Preview?
The GWC demos that you see when you aren't using a customized 
Geowebcache.xml file in the GWC folder are generated based on the WMS 
layers you are serving out of Geoserver. From my experience the demos of 
those tend to work well unless something is wrong with the WMS layer or 
it's data source. You shouldn't need a customized geowebcache.xml file 
for the demos to work.
That said, there's good documentation on the geowebcache.xml file at 
http://geowebcache.sourceforge.net/docs/current/configuration/xml/index.html

If you're using Geoserver, the config file goes in your data directory. 
There will be a folder in your geoserver data directory called "GWC"; 
the geowebcache.xml file goes in there. By default, there isn't one 
there - but you can create one. With the default Geowebcache setup, 
Geowebcache will create demos for all they layers you have in Geoserver 
as well as anything you specify in the geowebcache.xml file. I also 
attached a sample of a config file I use. i created it because I needed 
to make a grid subset of a layer so I could use it with other layers and 
have them line up nicely.
