Hi all!

I'm trying to sett up a MapService that uses OGC SLD to override the regular MapServer rendering rules (classes and styles). For some reason MapServer does not seem to pick up the SLD, because the resulting map uses the default drawing rules defined in the map-file rather then the SLD.

And BTW, is it possible to assign a SLD to a layer internally in a map-file, or do I need to provide the SLD as a parameter in the WMS GetMap request?

The layer in the mapfile looks like this:

  LAYER
    NAME "PolbndA"
    TYPE POLYGON
        #TYPE LINE
    STATUS OFF
        DEBUG 5
    MAXSCALEDENOM 1900000
      CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
      CONNECTION "host=xx port=5432 dbname=xx password=xx user=xx"
      DATA "shape from euroerm.polbnda USING UNIQUE objectid USING SRID=4326"
      PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"     
    METADATA
      "wms_title"             "Administrativie area"
      "wms_extent"            "-15 28 47 82"
      #"wms_sld_url" "http://www.geonorge.no/styles/erm/erm_ms_22_ah.xml"
      #"wms_sld_body" "AUTO" 
    END
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4326"
    END

    #LABELITEM "f_code"
        CLASSITEM "f_code"

    CLASS
      NAME "F_CODE"
      STYLE
        OUTLINECOLOR 255 100 0
        SIZE 2
      END
      LABEL
        COLOR 0 0 0
        FONT verdana
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        SIZE 10
        PARTIALS false
        POSITION lc
      END
    END
  END
