I am trying to decide if I want to finish the work ... but yeah it is just on volunteer time so no date in mind. Of course I would love to be hired to finish up the work; or to support you in your efforts. > - Is there any issue for not using a library like JAXB for doing the SLD > parser and tranformer? > I am not sure your sentence is correct. Using JAXB has some issues mostly around the handling of GML stuff.

Geoapi is a port of geotools style with the method names updated for the Symbology Encoding 1.1 specification.
My current thoughts are to keep the geotools styles extending the geoapi styles. I would like to keep the set method and just instruct developers to keep track of their own thread boundaries (ie do not change a style while the renderer is using it). We tried removing all the set methods and it just made the thing a pain to use. With that in mind I expect ... - GeoAPI interfaces to be readonly - GeoTools interfaces to extend those with set methods Cheers, Jody ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
