WMS Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) samples
The following SLD samples are available on the public server sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com. Their purpose is to help you understand how WMS services from ArcGIS Server work with external SLD resources.
Each sample has a corresponding SLD XML file accessible through the URL http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/wms/slds/<file_name>.xml to mimic an external SLD xml resource from a client. Each sample also has a WMS GetMap request, which requests a public ArcGIS Server WMS service (also on sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com) to render the map using a style defined in the external SLD resource.
All SLD samples below are designed and created for a public ArcGIS Server WMS service called ESRI_StatesCitiesRivers_USA, which can be accessed through the URL http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/services/Specialty/ESRI_StatesCitiesRivers_USA/MapServer/WMSServer? To use the samples, you can either click the GetMap request link or copy the request string and open it in a browser.
To view the content of a sample SLD file, just directly access the XML through the provided URL. Alternatively, you are free to download any of the sample SLD XML files below, modify them, and expose them back again through a public URL so that you can request the ESRI_StatesCitiesRivers_USA WMS service to render the map using your own SLD style.
