[Geoserver-users] WMS GetMap POST for a layergroup uses default styles

Hi list,
I’m wondering if I’m doing it wrong (or if I found a bug)?.
When I perform a POST with GetMap XML payload I get an image back rendered with default styles for the layers in the layer group.

From the example data I changed the style of tiger:poi in the layer group tiger-ny to use the point style instead.
Issuing a GET for tiger-ny renders the tiger:poi correctly with the point style. (GeoServer 2.5-RC1).

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?LAYERS=tiger-ny&STYLES=&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-74.08349171875,40.634971066406,-73.943530351562,40.837401066406&WIDTH=354&HEIGHT=512

Issuing a POST with the same bounding box to http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms with the following payload gives an image rendered with the default poi style named tiger-giant_polygon_tiger-poly_landmarks_tiger-tiger_roads_tiger-poi.png

It feels like there might be some difference in the way GeoServer handles GET requests and POST requests.
Perhaps there is some error in the construction of the XML-payload?
I would be grateful for any help.
