Hi,
Does MapSuite currently support WMTS, i.e. work as a WMTS client ?
If not, is this coming sometime soon ?
Cheers.

Hi, Lars I
We don’t support WMTS layer in our current version. Also it’s not in our target work list right now. But I think WMS client is the alternative solution for that. Sorry for any inconvenience caused to you.
Thanks,
Khalil
Hi Khalil,
WMS is a different ball game beneath the bonnet than WMTS, although they look similar on the surface. So it's not a real substitute.
I would think, considering your implemented support for Google and Yahoo maps, which are in effect WMTS-like tile services (although not standardized), that building support for WMTS would be relatively easy for you guys :-)
Please reconsider. Tile services are definitely a future trend.
Cheers.
Lars,
I just bump out to talk about my understanding about WMTS; maybe it is not so accurate.
As my understanding, WMTS is just a web map tiling service implementation standard created by OGC, it suggest a way to implement the logic of tiling algorithm. In our service component, we have this algorithm included, the class is MapSuiteTileMatrix.We create our tilling system based on this, including whole TileCahce system in Desktop Edition, besides, the tilling system in our WorldMapKit server is also based on this. While, for web edition client side, this algorithm is probably determined by OpenLayers, which is slightly different in its calculating start point.
Thanks.

Hi,
So what's the status on support of OGC WMTS services ?
It's been a while since last summer, and 4.5 has been released.
Will wrapping up a "TiledWmsLayer" in a "LayerOverlay" do the trick ?
Ps. Yes, WMTS is "just" OGC's specification for a standards compliant service. But an important one, as it'll be the yardstick for future server implementations.
Hi Lars,
Thank you for your suggestion.
As Yale and Khalil mentioned, although we don't support WMTS in current version, we already support Tiled LayerOvelay. Currently WMTS isn't in our work list but we'll discreetly consider your suggestion. I'm deeply sorry for the inconvenience.

Ivan
Is now MapSuite Web Edition compatible with WMTS services ?
Thank you.
Hi Gautier,
Sorry that we haven’t integrated it into WebEdition, but we can implement it on client side, if it’s urgent for you, please let us know, and we can give more help.
Thanks,
Johnny
Well in fact I developped an app compatible with IGN WMS service and they are going to move to WMTS during this summer so I’m preparing my application to be compatible, so it’s not very urgent but I know I will have to deal with WMTS…
So if you could provide some hints and sample code I would be very gratefull !
Thank you.
Hi Gautier,
Just let you it’s in development now, i think it can be avaliable tommorow.
Thanks,
Johnny
Can you tell me more about that ? I’m very interested !
Hello Gautier,
We are still working on this, we will let you know more details asap.
Regards,
Gary
Hi Gautier,
Sorry for the waiting. After the investigation, we created a plugin for you to support the WMTS, please check the attached sample and source code, and let us know if there is any missing, I think your feedback is very important to us, if everything goes well with you, we will consider integrating it into webEdition.
Here is the screenshot we got:
Thanks,
Johnny

Hi Gautier,
How is it going?
Regards!

Hi, I just tried your sample and it looks to work great.
I’m waiting for the information from IGN about their WMTS server they are creating at this time.
Will it be possible to cache tiles server side like with the WMSrasterLayer ?
Thank you.
Hi Gautier,
I think it’s hard to, because all the request logic is implemented on client using JavaScript, we haven’t provided a server side layer like WmsRasterLayer. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Johnny
