I am using GeoServer and seed tiles on my server. The tiles are created successfully but I don't know which pattern the directory structure is following... (i.e. .../EPSG_4326_05/0_0/00_06.png).

I want to use the tiles in a OpenLayers application and there I want to use a OSM source which is using the XYZ-pattern which is commonly used as URL pattern for tile-serving. Is there a way to tell the GeoServer it should create the tiles with the XYZ structure?

GeoServer (actually GeoWebCache) can provide a number of end points that can serve tiles.

None of these uses the so called XYZ system (because that isn't a standard) but OpenLayers has a Tiled Layer that can handle TMS and WMTS servers using the TileImage source.

    XYZ is not available because nobody contributed it :-p The Google maps endpoint is not a standard, but it's there anyways (wondering, is the Google one matching the XYZ one by any chance?) Looking at this doc it seems like it might: geoserver.geo-solutions.it/edu/en/caching_data/…

  • is there no possibility to transform the one pattern to the other? i mean.. i get the url "EPSG_4326_05/0_0/00_06.png" and can recalculate it to the corresponding XYZ tile i.e. "EPSG_4326_05/0/6.png"

  • and not only google maps is using this endpoint... the openstreetmap (source.OSM in openlayers) also have such a pattern
