Hello,
Well, I posted this question yesterday but maybe I didn't make myself clear.
There it goes again...
I have some shapefiles that describe the streets of a given city. Well, with
some viewers I can choose an attribute to print its value over the streets
(which is the street names - each street with its respective name). However,
I couldn't find a way to tell the renderer I'd like to choose an attribute
to be rendered with the polygons so that I would have the picture of the
streets and their names... Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you have to create a style with two symbolizer, one line simbolizer
for the streeet itself, and text symbolizer that uses the attribute as the
label.
An XML style gui builder is in the works, but I don't know when I will find
the time to finish it.
Best regards

Thanx Andrea!
Is there a documentation of these styles. I have created some styles, but I
think there should be a "how to..." document or something like! Do you know
where I can find it. It's not really necessary an IDE, but just the
description of the XML tags and usage.
Thanks again

We have followed the SLD (Styled Layer Descriptor) specification by OpenGis,
so go to the opengis site and download the SLD specification.

If you look in the GeoTools2 renderer-styling module you'll see some examples of how the styling works.
I've included the text test sld code and an image of the output.
Hope that helps

Thanks Ian…
It was really quite usefull. Well, I also took a glance of the SLD specs and built the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The red-highlighted text is what’s new in my XML, however the result is something like:
Well, then observing your example, I replaced the blue-highlighted text in the above XML by: NAME
And what I expected took place in this case:
Lot’s of name… But a question remains… The name of the parameter I want ot print is “Name”, as defined in my SHP file. Take a look bellow:
Do you have any idea about what might be going wrong onde I can get the real name attributes printed in the image?
Thanks again

Wild guess: case sensitivity. The rendering code does not know that the
dbf attribute names are case independent, so I guess that the name
in the DBF file is not "NAME", but maybe "Name", "name", whatever....
I may just be plain wrong thought...

The SLD experts may correct me, but since they aren't answering, in my
glance at the sld spec I think the xml should maybe be
<Label><PropertyName>NAME</PropertyName></Label>
instead of:
<Label><Literal>NAME</Literal></Label>
This guess is more from my Filter spec knowledge, so I may be missing
something, but you should give it a try. The PropertyName might be case
sensitive, so maybe try out <Label><PropertyName>name</PropertyName></Label>
as well.
Chris
Thanks again

Hi Chris
The SLD experts may correct me, but since they aren't answering, in my
glance at the sld spec I think the xml should maybe be
<Label><PropertyName>NAME</PropertyName></Label>
I made that... And I couldn't get that attribute printed in the generated pic.
So, I changed to <Literal> in order to check if I could have the literal "NAME" printed. In this case it worked, but not with
<PropertyName/> tag.
This problem is still happening.
Thanx anyway
Regards,
Aurelio
