[mapserver-users] SLD-Integration with UMN Mapserver

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi there,

  The wms_sld_url metadata is used on WMS layers (wms client) in the map 
file, so that when a GetMap request is done to retrieve the layer from a 
remote WMS server, the SLD is sent in the request and used by the remote 
WMS server to style the layer. Is that your understanding and what you 
attempted?
There is no  way currently to use the styling out of an sld on a 
map/layer by specifying it in the map file. There is a possibility to do 
so using Mapscript's functions applysld (on map and layer objects).

Best regards,
