If you are operating using a thin client, you can generate
tiled images of a map at different scales (zoom levels) and then save
them in the cache of a thin-client server application. These tiled
images can be used by the servlet as pre-rendered tile requests to
speed up the response time of the server.
However, this is not mandatory since the server also
has a cache. Using this function you can fill the cache with data
at startup. The cache is initially empty, but is gradually filled
with the most requested Map Views, regardless of whether it was pre-filled
or not.
Two values need to be provided: Tile
Size (the tile size in pixels) and Scales (a list of scales for which you
want to generate the tiled images). You can do this in the Thin Client
Settings pane.
The following figure shows an example of a Thin Client
Settings pane.
