Hi,
I'm writing to get some discussion and eventually consensus on how to best
handle:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5545
Long story short, it is possible and relatively easy to get two styles
backed by the same sld file, so editing one changes the other as well.
The current situation arises because the sld and xml files are separate,
and at least initially, they have the same name, but on rename, only the
xml file gets renamed.
Approaches coming to mind:
* stop naming the sld file after the style name, use the uuid of the
StyleInfo. Pro, no conflicts whatsoever are possible anymore, Cons, good
luck finding the style you want on disk (you have to get the xml file first
and see that the name is)
* when creating a new style, check if the sld name is already busy, if so,
append random numbers to the original name. Pros, still somewhat easy to
locate the sld file without opening the xml one (at least up until the
style is renamed)
* have the sld file be named <stylename>_<styleid>.xml, and rename the sld
when the style is renamed. Adding the styleid in the sld file name prevents
conflicts with concurrent file manipulation, but it's still pretty evident
what style the sld file is associated to
Opinions?
Cheers
Andrea
