[Geoserver-users] GetLegendGraphic from the WMC

hi everybody,

some experience in getting the Legend from the WMC file?

I want users to upload their point data and manipulate the visualization
(filter data by some parameter) and symbolization. First I thought to
achieve it creating a <SLD> tag in WMC. Every genus data you choose, creates
a new Filter in this SLD (you can see it using Firebug, still as a
prototype!, after selecting the "Iberian Peninsula" context in
http://edit3.csic.es/edit_geo/prototype/edit3.html ).

The next stept would be the symbolization, genus by genus. It's possible
accessing to the <PointSymbolizer> tags by config.objects.mainMap.doc and
change the values of color, symbol, size... but then I thought about the
Legend!!

Using Geoserver is possible to send a GetLegendGraphic request using a
SLD_BODY URL (you can find an example in the Demo requests of Geoserver),
but I really don't know if I should continue researching in this way (how to
encode and send this request? for SLD_BODY I think this is Geoserver work,
isn`t it?) or instead of creating a <SLD> in WMC I should directly modify
the "points.sld" for each user request (then I should easily get the
Legend).

I've also sent the question in Geoserver forum, without too much success
:.( for the moment.
I'm not sure if it's Geoserver or Mapbuilder issue.
I'm using Mapbuilder 1.5-alpha1.

Thanks a lot,
Pere Roca
