There is a list of Web Clients for Geoserver on the Geoserver site (http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Clients). Unfortunately, it is posted as no longer maintained. Does anyone have a current list of web clients?

It depends on which services you want to provide/consume using Geoserver (WMS, WFS/WFS-T, or WCS). Based on the services you want to use, you can look for suitable clients. OpenLayers is one of the most advanced tools and documentation is good.
Other clients include:
I would guess that the most popular tool used to build Web clients for GeoServer is OpenLayers
You may also want to look at MapFish http://mapfish.org/
and GeoExt http://www.geoext.org/
.

It's not clear to me that I can use a WMS/WFS in cartoview. All the examples seem to be limited to GoogleMaps. Commented Oct 6, 2010 at 14:11

this example cartologic.com/products/cartoview-1.0.0beta/samples/ol-layers/… provides a method of fetching geoserver layers [first icon on the right]– user173Commented Oct 6, 2010 at 15:49
I think we can use Mapserver in combination with openlayers as web client

Isn't the question about GeoServer?– user173Commented May 22, 2018 at 4:23
