[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3551) problem with SLD rule hierarchy

problem with SLD rule hierarchy
-------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3551
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3551
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.7.6
         Environment: windows
            Reporter: Jeremy Trudel
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

From what I understood from the SLD specification it states that when multiple rules are written, any subsequent rule will result in the object being drawn over and object drawn from a previous rule.

Ex) If I had two rules, one called "roads" and another called "highways" then I would expect all highways to be drawn on top of any roads if the highways rule is written after the roads rule.

This implementation allows you to define a layering mechanism with a shape file that uses an SLD. I am finding however than this is not the case and that objects that are drawn according to different rules seem to be draw in an arbitrary order. Is there something that I am not doing correctly, or a, I understanding this specification incorrectly?

Also, I am not sure whether this is the correct place to post this topic, as it may be a bug, but may not be if I am not understanding this concept correctly.
