This is the most important feature we've developed lately with Kappu (aka Andrea Cappugi).
Andrea did a REST extension to GeoServer called SLDService. This extension use GeoTools' data access features and let you create an SLD file using those information that normal OWS (OGC) services don't offer. As example: you can now make classifications by unique values or natural and quantile intervals. This is the kind of things that are not feasible using just Javascript and OGC services.

SLDService deals with little chunks of SLD code. This makes the service very responsive and the client job easier, don't need to parse tons of XML with Javascript.

Editing SLD

OWS Manager has a simple interface to deal with SLDService.

• this screencast shows an example of unique values classification.


• A second screencast shows you how to play with quantile intervals.

You can have a try with the
online example .

This features are still under development, code is available on Geoserver svn and OpenLayers svn but it's not yet recommended in production.
