Is it possilbe to change SLD from client side?

Question

How to change predefile SLD in client side? The reason I want this is I want to turn label on and off on client side.

Answer 1

Easiest way is to have two SLD files and change the style in the WMS request depending on if you want labels on or off.

Alternatively you could have a separate layer with just labels and turn that on/off as needed.

Or you could try to have a local SLD file and upload it with each request but that will be slower and much harder to handle on the client.

Answer 2

you should look Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) example on openlayers here about parsing SLD and applying styles to a vector layer of course you will use in openlayers..

i hope it helps you...

Unfortunately, I haven't had luck to make it work.
