Hi,
I believe the easiest way to test an SLD you are developing is to do a GetLegendGraphic request, using the path to the SLD inline.
For example:
If you change the host name above, change 'any-existing-layer' above to any layer you have, like 'states_shapefile:states', and change the path to your SLD you should get something like this:
(The link above will only work for 2 hours more until the program that generated it expires the SLD - it's created automatically, but you can view our existing symbol library at http://aadc-maps.aad.gov.au/symbology/. Currently, the public can only view existing SLDs - only we have access to the tool that creates them.)
Hope this helps,

This forces a reload of the sld stuff in memory, so if
you've changed
things they'll be picked up.Chris
