Hi, Mapserver can also create SLD file without additional scripts by implementing GetStyles request which is a part of WMS standard. You can try how it works http://188.64.1.61/cgi-bin/ms_ows?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetStyles&LAYERS=sea
The SLD files generated by GetStyles are very basic and do not make the same result as advanded Mapserver styles but try if the result with doing both WFS GetFeature and WMS GetStyles happens to be good enough for you.

WMS and WFS are very different things. WFS sends pure data in XML format and there are attributes and coordinates but no colors nor line widths. Something like this http://188.64.1.61/cgi-bin/tinyows?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeat ure&typeName=lv:mml_paikannimet20&maxFeatures=20 For the client WFS is a vector layer and you must define the styles on the client side. However, automatic styling of WFS layers might be possible by utilising the OGR feature style system http://fi.search.yahoo.com/search?p=ogr+feature+style+support&ei=UTF-8&fr=mo z35 Currently Mapserver can convert OGR styles from the source data into Mapserver classes. http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/ogr.html#styleitem-auto-rendering-laye rs-using-style-information-from-the-ogr-file If Mapserver could do it in an opposite way and populate an additional OGR_STYLES field of WFS Feature Type from layer styles and if the WFS client could utilize OGR_STYLES automatically for rendering it might work. Perhaps an idea for the Google Summer of Code? -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________ Lähettäjä: [email protected] [[email protected]] käyttäjän Murad Jamal [[email protected]] puolesta Lähetetty: 27. maaliskuuta 2013 5:58 Vastaanottaja: [email protected] Aihe: [mapserver-users] WFS Server Layer styles not displaying Hello, I have been recently testing mapserver with WFS layer. The wfs layer appears – however it completely ignores my CLASS Styles. I used WMS before – it worked without any issue. Anything I am doing wrong here? Or Does mapserver doesn’t support styling for WFS layers through CLASS definitions? Here is my Layer Definition in map file . Using mapserver ver 6.0.2 LAYER NAME "bldg" METADATA "wfs_title" "Building Footprints" ##REQUIRED "wfs_srs" "EPSG:28356" ## REQUIRED "gml_include_items" "all" ## Optional (serves all attributes for layer) "gml_featureid" "ID" ## REQUIRED "wfs_enable_request" "*" END TYPE polygon STATUS OFF #DATA "site/bldg_region" CONNECTIONTYPE PLUGIN PLUGIN "C:/ms4w/Apache/specialplugins/msplugin_mssql2008.dll" CONNECTION "server=abc;uid= abc;pwd= abc;database= abc;Integrated Security=false" DATA "geom from bldg USING SRID=28356" TRANSPARENCY 100 PROJECTION "init=epsg:28356" END CLASS NAME 'Building Footprints' STYLE COLOR 255 128 000 OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255 WIDTH 2 END END #class END #layer Regards Murad ----- No virus found in this message.
