[mapserver-dev] Possible BUG: MapServer WMS SLD with ExternalGraphic not working using trunk codebase

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi,
...
  SYMBOL "http://demo.mapserver.org/ogc-demos/etc/images/target-1.gif" 
should be valid and the would in effect download your symbol and use it 
for the fill.

Here is a simple SLD I am using to do local tests and does seem to give 
expected result, Can you also try it?

<StyledLayerDescriptor 
version="1.0.0"><NamedLayer><Name>province</Name><UserStyle><Title>xxx</Title><FeatureTypeStyle><Rule><PolygonSymbolizer><Geometry><PropertyName>the_area</PropertyName></Geometry><Fill><CssParameter 
name="fill">#ff0000</CssParameter><GraphicFill><Graphic><ExternalGraphic><OnlineResource 
xlink:type="simple" 
xlink:href="http://demo.mapserver.org/ogc-demos/etc/images/target-1.gif"/><Format>GIF</Format></ExternalGraphic><Size>10.0</Size></Graphic></GraphicFill></Fill></PolygonSymbolizer></Rule></FeatureTypeStyle></UserStyle></NamedLayer></StyledLayerDescriptor>


Looking at the map file generated, I see a second style that seems to 
indicate a "stroke" element was given in the SLD to create an outline on 
the polygon. I tried to do the same and that gave me an issue where the 
2nd style "hiding" the first style with what seems to be a white fill. I 
have raised this issue in http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3891 
and when fixed the map file given in your example should draw expected 
results.

best regards,
