The SLD file (which is converted to a Style object in the code) takes care of what is drawn, you'll probably need a Line Symbolizer to draw the roads and a Text Symbolizer to label them. > Also, inorder to display the road names, do i need to have the .dbf file > already read into a postgis db? No - as you will see in MapViewer it is easy to style and display a shapefile (really you need to forget about the dbf file - it's just part of the shapefile).
