[Mapserver-users] WMS style elements and SLD

[Rene Teniere]

Assefa,

Thanks, It's all so confusing. I have seen so many variations on how to
do this, and am especially wondering what the NamedStyle refers to. Does
it use the style element in the mapfile, or does it have to be created?
In the OGC SLD reference it shows the NamedLayer, and NamedStyle, but I
do not know where the NamedStyle comes from or how it is created. If I
use wms_sld_url, do I still have to use wms_style or wms_stylelist? As
you can see I have a lot of questions and I'm sorry for the volume as I
know SLD is new to MapServer.

Rene,

  You should use  the wms_sld_url metadata. So in your case you would 
have "wms_sld_url" "http://10.2.185.9/wms/basewms_sld.xml".
  Note also that there is the wms_sld_body metedata that can be set to

the actual contect of the sld document.

Best Regards,
