Hi. Well you dont have the luxury of styling the map in geoserver. You have to write an SLD file according to your visualization requirement for each layer seperately, that requires time but its not difficult at all. I have seen a lot of people getting stuck with ArcGis server because normally it

I have found that serving data WMS data through Geoserver is significantly faster than serving the data through ArcGis Server. That was true when serving shape files out of Geoserver. In a production environment I am using PostGis which of course is even faster. It is not difficult to convert

That's quite a big project, but quite amenabel to a modular approach. It's up to you where to begin, but I think I would start by setting up the database and creating any management tools you will need for it. Then move on to Mapserver. By then, you'll probably be ready to develop an OpenLayers

Hi, If you mean by *nothing*, that you get nothing displayed, then I guess you use IE. There is a comma in your code, where it not should be. style: {strokeColor: green, strokeWidth: 5, strokeOpacity: 0.5}, -- The code you use, should work in FF. If the comma is the reason for the failing,
