Hi,

I´m just reading through the geowebcache documentation, and don´t quite 
understand something about the naming of layers in geowebcache.xml.


"<name> The layer name as published by GeoWebCache. It can be the same name as 
known to the WMS (for example, in GeoServer, this would benamespace:layername) 
or not."

If the layername is something different from the wms layer, how can gwc know 
which layer is to be displayed by gwc?


eg. I have a layer named zgb:Grenzen_ZGB. 

the wms url is 
.....SERVERPATH/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=zgb:Grenzen_ZGB

geowebcache reads this from the wms url and creates a gwc tiled 
representation.....so if the layername is something different, how can gwc know 
which layers is to be tiled?


furthermore....can anyone tell me why I would first define a layer with 
<wmslayer> etc....and then again in the  <wmslayers> section? Is this for 
configurations which span more than just one layer?


thanks,

Rob
