I am trying to implement a homemade WMS with Openlayers. I only have one "level" of images with one resolution and I would like to add different zoom lvls with those images.

Is this possible just with Openlayers ?

where do you take wms? geoserver, mapserver or anything. pls give some detail. – Aragon May 31 '12 at 13:33
I am using my own images. Actually, when the WMS request is made, I catch it with Apache and a rewrite rule, and I replace the url with the location of my map pieces. I'm just using WMS for the dynamic images downloading part. – Olivier May 31 '12 at 14:18
hm, where'd you get your one 'level'? I think Aragon is heading in the right direction. In order to create different levels, you might want to look for a server-side solution. Openlayers will consume WMS, but it won't generate any more content. – Ryan Twilley May 31 '12 at 22:37
couldn't you use an ImageLayer? - dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.11/examples/… – iant♦ Jun 1 '12 at 7:28
That's the point, I don't want to create new levels. In the first place, we were using "Layer.Image" with one big image built with all the little ones I needed. The zoom was a simple zoom, there was no need to have 3 different images resolution to have 3 zoom lvls. This is what I would like to reproduce, but with the layer WMS instead. My "little images" are on the server the application is deployed. I'm using Java by the way. – Olivier Jun 1 '12 at 7:29

OpenLayers.Map has the "client zoom" property that can help you creating zoom leves on the client side.

See the sample: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/clientzoom.html

I think this might be just what I was looking for. Thanks ! – Olivier Jun 5 '12 at 13:20

The Image layer may be what you're looking for. See http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/Image-js.html.
