Subject: Re: [gislist] How can I draw point symbol on WMS?
Date:  06/29/2007 09:57:49 AM
From:  Chris Holmes



In SLD 1.1 I believe there's going to be the concept of an 'inline feature'
that the server will render for you. I doubt ArcIMS supports it yet. If
you want to do it now you can try GeoServer - http://geoserver.org - open
source with support for ArcSDE, Oracle Spatial, Shapefiles and more. See
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/InlineFeature for information on
how to do what you want to do.
