The closest would be to save the style information into a database, so when someone opens a layer (also saved in the database) they will be using the same style. Justin

There are a couple of aspects to what you are talking about. You mentioned making use of a database so I am going to take a couple wild guesses to try and figure out what you are getting at based on what others have done. The uDig load/save mechanism for Maps is all about saving this information into a project directory. In the past people have wanted to either: - save this information too and from a databases so users can work on a common set of maps - save this information too and from an Open Web Context document (to be attached to a wiki page) - save just the style information into a database and "update" existing maps to use the latest style from the common central database In each one of these cases you are going to get in there making your own maps and layers; taking charge of the process your application uses to assemble a working Map data structure for udig to draw. Let me know which one of the above scenarios you are working towards and I can try and make more specific recommendations. (the general idea is that these are just data structures so you can "load" and "save" them as you see fit) If I can ask you to review the IRC logs from this weeks meeting; Moovida requested a new "export style" extension point be created; it is not quite related to your request here - except in that it will represent another example of saving and loading a style to a file.
