I'll try that. As far as a clean visual way. The way QGIS does it seems fairly clean. They simply list out all the geometry fields in the database as if they were separate tables. I think udig relies on geometry_columns table, but in uDig way, list out all the geometry fields listed in geometry_columns table.
They do something like buildings (the_geom_m) buildings (the_geom_ft) Where the_geom_m and the_geom_ft are two separate geometry fields I have in the buildings table.

This can be added to any Symbolizer: > <Geometry> > <ogc:PropertyName>centerline</ogc:PropertyName> > </Geometry> (When left out the renderer assumes something) And yes XML is not fun at all; can you think of a nice visual way to do this sort of thing? If you wanted something quick make a StyleConfigurator page that and let users place a use a check box next to the Geometry being styled. A nice long term solution would be that when adding the data to the screen from a tree; the data entry has children; one child for each "non default" geometry.
