Let me summarize, you are planning to modify the existing wms client to
report if the server can support
used defined symbolization, and in that case, send down to the server a
request with a SLDBODY or
a POST request with full XML GetMap?
And the style would come from ... where? Directly from the
MapContext/MapContent (mind the API
change on trunk) layer?
I don't believe there are any plans for that right now, a contribution in
that direction would be
certainly welcomed. Some design discussion on the ml before getting down to
coding is
recommended in order to build a patch that gets actually accepted in the
code base.
Cheers
Andrea
