[Geoserver-devel] Status of SLD?

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

Rob,

Thanks for the comments.

Should this go in Geotools, Geoserver, UDIG or a new module? My feeling
is that UI components like this probably need to in a new module
environment, but that the back end "model" and "controller" parts

could >be part of Geotools. The "model" certainly is.

The main problem with this is what the UI is actually going to be? Is it
Swing? SWT? HTML? Flash? SVG?

Geovista (built on geotools) already has sometype of SLD editor.

My basic thoughts on this was to implement the GetStyle/PutStyle
operations inside geoserver, then use a AJAX-based webapp to actually
pull out a style, modify it, then stick it back in. I wasnt planning
on doing anything really fancy for 1.3.1.

If anyone's planning on doing anything fancy, I'm sure we could work
together on it.

Certainly a good thing to do.

If the AJAX webapp used DescribeFeatureType to get the constraints on the SLD then this is consistent, albeit not particularly reusable code. Any XSL being used to create HTML is potentially reusable within an HTML capable client.

If anyone's planning on doing anything fancy, I'm sure we could work
together on it.
