Thank you, for the fantastic geoserver.
I'm try the example

<FeatureTypeStyle>
     <Rule>
       <PointSymbolizer>
         <Graphic>
           <ExternalGraphic>
             <OnlineResource
               xlink:type="simple"
               xlink:href="smileyface.png" />
             <Format>image/png</Format>
           </ExternalGraphic>
           <Size>32</Size>
         </Graphic>
       </PointSymbolizer>
     </Rule>
   </FeatureTypeStyle>

with the normal point, all works fine, with the triangle, all works fine.
when i try with the example above, qgis, collegated via wms don't show
nothing.
the question is where i have to put the file smileyface.png?
is a way to set a path un my pc?
I 'm using windows7, xampp (tomcat e Apache), and i have installed
geoserver, last version.
when i use the style, point as graphics, with a shape file of point, don't
show the smiley...
with normal point graphics show the point rightly...
where's my mistake?
thanks

The smileyface.png file should be placed in the styles folder of the
Geoserver
data directory, that is, in the same place as the SLD file, in order to
work.

Otherwise, you can also use an absolute path to the file, or a reference to
a
resource served by an HTTP server (e.g.,
http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/airports.png)

Cheers

Hi,

if you are using Apache anyway you might as well use it to keep your
symbols.
In my case the 'geoserver_symbols' directory under the htdocs dir.
The http link has the added advantage that you can check the display of your
symbol simply with a browser. If it displays there, it will in Geoserver.
