The WMS connector provides support for a subset of the Styled Layer Descriptor specification. The following is the scope of the support:
- NamedLayer with NamedStyle and NamedLayer with UserStyle
combinations are supported. UserLayer with UserStyle is not supported.
- A Styled Layer Descriptor can only be specified in the
SLD parameter of a GETMAP request as a URL pointing to a remote SLD XML
document.
- Only a subset of SLD elements is supported and are listed below.
