Hi Ashley,

An MXD only contains  styling information and pointers to your ESRI datastores 
(shp, SDE, GDB, WMS etc) - It does not contains any geographic or attribute 
data.

You can migrate the styles in the MXDs to SLDs and use geoserver to configure a 
datastore against a shapefile or SDE datastore fer example to serve the data.

Regards,
Steve

Subject: [Geoserver-users] working with MXD file

Our customer would like to be able to import the data from an MXD file.
Is this feasible?  Is all the data be self contained in the MXD file?  I
can't find a lot of information on the MXD file format.   Any comments
are appreciated!
