[mapserver-users] SLD and Mapserver
Hi list, I'm using mapserver as a WMS server and I try to use an SLD file to render my map, instead of the usual CLASS and STYLE labels. I've succeded using an SLD parameter on my querystring but I can not get the same result removing the sld url from the querystring and writing it into wms_sld_url paramenter (into LAYER metadata tag). I have done that as told here:http://mapserver.org/ogc/sld.html But it seems that wms_sld_url is only useful when using mapserver as a WMS client. I would like to render my maps using SLD files instead of the STYLE label to avoid programming on my client application. Have you got any idea? Best regards. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] SLD and Mapserver
Hi, It is not yet possible to use directly sld styles in a map file. We have discussed that a couple of times but It is still in the wish list for future versions. If you are interested to see that sooner than later and might be possible for you to contribute toward it's development, let me know. best regards, On 31/05/2011 12:18 PM, luis peinado wrote: Hi list, I'm using mapserver as a WMS server and I try to use an SLD file to render my map, instead of the usual CLASS and STYLE labels.

Re: [mapserver-users] SLD with Mapserver 5.4.2
Hi Michael, Thank you for your answer :) Now SLD is working i had a mistake with names references. I have just another question: how is possible to add a style using SLD without overriding the whole server style? I explain what i want to do: I have a map served by MapServer, so a mapfile with layers and styles. I want to add a style with new characteristics (could be outline or overriding just the color of the text). Thanks, Andrea 2009/7/30 Michael Schulz msch...@webgis.de Hi Andrea, to use SLD you won't need very special mapfile configuration. You should pay attention to setting the imgpath parameter of the web section correctly, i.e. accessible and writable by mapserver-cgi, since the sld's are stored there temporarily while/after downloading them from the specified URL. I am not aware of any other special configuration, but very helpful are the debugging outputs, that you can enable with the keyword DEBUG on at map or layer level. I find it most convenient to specify an errorfile path via CONFIG MS_ERRORFILE /ms4w/tmp/ms_error.txt at map level. Be sure to set the SLD's NamedLayer Name tag value exactly the same as your mapfile's layer name you want to style.

Re: [mapserver-users] SLD with Mapserver 5.4.2
Hi Andrea, mapserver uses sld in library mode, meaning that if for a certain layer of the mapfile an sld symbolization is provided it takes precedence over the mapfile symbolization. If for another layer no sld id provided, then the mapfile symbolization is used. Thus, As far as I know you can only replace the symbolization of a complete layer and not add styling in a sense of taking the labelling definitions from the mapfile and the fill-color from the sld for one layer. It may nevertheless be that some definitions regarding symbolization are mixed, e.g. the transparency settings of a layer is kept when applying an sld (at least this was the case for older versions). When you really want to add something to the symbolization, a possible approach would be to use the getstyle request to obtain mapserver's sld-representation of the current layer styling, then you could add or modify that and sent it back modified for a getmap request.

Yes, it's working now ;) It may nevertheless be that some definitions regarding symbolization are mixed, e.g. the transparency settings of a layer is kept when applying an sld (at least this was the case for older versions). When you really want to add something to the symbolization, a possible approach would be to use the getstyle request to obtain mapserver's sld-representation of the current layer styling, then you could add or modify that and sent it back modified for a getmap request. Michael, using java, we get the layer's style from the request. Before doing the new request to WMS server, we tried to extract the old style and then add a new style (in the new request there are the old and the new ones) So using geotools we have: [...] StyleImpl styleImpl = new StyleImpl(); // istantiate new Style ListFeatureTypeStyle featuresStyles = new ArrayListFeatureTypeStyle(); //define list of styles featuresStyles.add(featureTypeStyle); // defining style list styleImpl.setFeatureStyles(featuresStyles); // applying feature styles to the current style ListStyleImpl st = new ArrayListStyleImpl(); // the new style list st.add(style); // adding the old style coming from the request st.add(styleImpl); // adding our new style // then defining the new request with layer... Layer l = new Layer(); l.setStyles(st); l.setName(nycroads); request.addLayer(l); [...] So we are trying to: - ask getCapabilites to WMS server - retrieving the style list from the layer - retrieve the old style from the layer - create a new style for the layer - insert one old style and a new one to the layer - do a request with the elaborated layer result: not working :) is it a good approach?
