using SLD file for Mapserver WMS server

[Eijnden, Bart van den (AGI)]

Hi list,

how much effort would be involved to have the ability of using an SLD XML file on the file system as the default style for a layer in Mapserver WMS Server?

Something like:

LAYER
  ..
  DATA "../../mydata/myshape.shp"
  SLD "../../mydata/myshape.sld"
  ..
END

I think this would be a very welcome addition.

Currently it is only possible to use an SLD URL on a WMS client LAYER (wms_sld_url).

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bart van den Eijnden
