I agree that this would be a good application of IAdaptable. I know there has been push back to this "eclipsism" because of the complexity but I think this circumstance it does indeed make sense.
With a bit of variation I think it would also solve another issue. One of the problems we have with how we store stuff is afaik we only just read the first style in an SLD. Which means if someone is using an SLD as a "library", they are kind of stuck. One thing that would be cool would be: FeatureTypeInfo ftinfo = ...; StyleInfo style = ...; //load the style for the feature type Style se = style.adapt( Style.class, ftinfo ); Basically parameterizing Iadapable so that in this case only styles which will apply to the feature type would be loaded. 2c. -Justin -- Justin Deoliveira OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Enterprise support for open source geospatial. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
