Solr and Geoserver/Mapserver

[gwk <gi...@eyefi.nl>]

Hello,

While my current implementation of searching on a map works, rendering 
hundreds of markers in an embedded Google map tends to slow browsers on 
slower computers (or fast computers running internet explorer :\) down 
to a crawl. I'm looking into generating tiles with the markers rendered 
on it on the server to improve performance (GTileLayerOverlay) Does 
anyone have any experience using geoserver, mapserver or a similar 
application in combination with Solr so that the application can 
generate tiles from a Solr query and tile position/zoom level?

Regards,

gwk
