[udig-devel] Send SLDs to a WMS

[Jesse Eichar]

We also welcome a patch uDig.  Sounds like what you need are:

1.  A new Style Configurator
2.  A patch to the WMS Renderer



There is information about styling and style configurator here:

http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/DEV/05+Style

On fairly simple example of a style and style configurator is the  
LocationStyleConfigurator and its associated LocationStyleContent
