Hi Viola, I'm afraid the only way is to migrate your MXD styles to an SLD.
The sure fire way to do this is manually, but for complicated styles this could take a while. Some people have created tools - I've not used these but would be a good starting point. The thing to remember is that GeoServer has some great VendorOptions which enhance the cartographic quality of the maps, so try the tools, verify the styles then using the vendoroptions tweak the SLD to improve the mpa quality. Here is something I got from a quick goolge: http://www.cadmaps.com/gisblog/?p=75 Cheers, Steve ________________________________________ From: Viola Anne [violaa...@gmail.com] Sent: 19 April 2011 11:00 To: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Geoserver-users] How to maintain ArcMap mxd symbology in geoserver Hello, I am a newbie in open source web mapping, I have been using ESRI products but a new client has requested to have his web mapping application developed using open source namely Geoserver, Openlayers and GeoExt. The client would like us to maintain the symbology as it is in the ArcMap mxd. I would appreciate any help on how to do this or directions on how to go about it. been reading around and understand that I need to declare the symbology in SLD for each layer, but this looks a little too much work, any easier way out? -- Kind Regards, Viola DISCLAIMER: This email may contain confidential information and is intended only for the use of the specific individual(s) to which it is addressed.
