Ah, well in that case you might look to using GeoWebCache as a WMS endpoint. There's some fussiness to it, but start here:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/geowebcache/using.html#geowebcache- endpoint-url Then, the cache re-builds WMS requests from cached tiles, so it acts (largely) like a WMS service, and the API will know no different, but you still get the advantage of a cache from a speed standpoint. Also, word from the developers forum is that there will be some really nice improvements which include graphical interfaces for custom projection definitions and other things that historically needed to be set in the geowebcache.xml file with (I think) 2.2. This can be accessed on the trunk at this time. Are you going to do any WFS from the Flex API?

I set up some ArcGIS Flex apps a couple months ago that used Geoserver WMS for the main features and have had no problems. Unfortunately I had to leave the server alone for awhile to do some other work and have not been able to spend a lot of time looking into getting a tile cached WMS to work in ArcGIS Flex. I am getting ready to set up GeoWebCache now so I can try to serve a tiled service through that, but do not know yet if I can make it work. When I asked about WMS-T on the ESRI Flex API forum the response was that the capability is built into the API but that the viewer does not support it yet. ESRI also mentions you can extend the viewer to take advantage of the API, but that is outside my current skill set. - Michael Michael Smith GIS Coordinator Association of Bay Area Governments Ph: 510.464.7948 Fax: 510.464.7970 [email protected] >>> "Stephen V.

Anyone had any experience pointing ArcGIS API for FLEX to a GeoServer WFS instances (or WMS for that matter-but I expect that should be relatively painless). I thought I'd ask before delving in.
