Hi Jeff,
Glad you got your projection issue figured out.
Re: the other issue below, where Cascadenik does not carry through your layer,
one problem appears that your Datasource should be:
<Datasource>
<Parameter name="type">shape</Parameter>
<Parameter name="file">C:\Shapefiles\PATHS</Parameter>
</Datasource>
Not:
<Datasource>
<CSSParameter name="type">SHAPE</CSSParameter>
<CSSParameter name="file">C:\Shapefiles\PATHS</CSSParameter>
</Datasource>
If making that fix does not help then feel free to send me your mml and I will
take a closer look.
