[mapserver-users] will Mapserver ever support SLD inside Mapfile?

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Hi Giovanni: Inline SLD has been talked about and was on the roadmap for 6.0 I believe. Sadly it didn't get done for that release and out resident SLD expert  has had precious little time to spend on the project in recent months. I think it's going to take a particularly motivated developer or user to make it happen (patches gladly accepted). Conceptually it doesn't seem that difficult. That is, defining an SLD block within a class or a style or should it be within a layer. I guess that's where the complications lie. It really depends on the SLD capabilities already part of MapServer. Seems to me that if you can read SLD from a WMS request then pulling from the mapfile proper shouldn't be difficult.

I know this is a topic asked many times, but since it's quite a long time I don't work extensively with MS, I would like to know if roadmaps have ever been discussed to implement Mapfile Styling with SLD.

Thanks,
Giovanni
