[Geoserver-users] Migrating from MapServer

Hi

I'm contemplating migrating from MapServer to Geoserver for a project
that I am working on, but am a little concerned about the amount of
work I have in converting 400+ mapfiles into corresponding GeoServer
configurations. I can see how I can programmatically create the
various info.xml files that define the data sources as I have them
stored in a DB/spreadsheet anyway. But I can see the styles being far
more time consuming!

Has anybody any experience or recommendations for migrating styling
information from mapfiles to SLDs?

Many thanks in advance

Rob

Hi Rob
there is a MapScript function where you can save styling information as sld:
