Thanks so much Joshua! This really did work and I would have never thought
of having to put *file://* before the system path :p
It turns out that I was doing a couple of other things wrong, I knew this
because after I followed your suggestion, I got no more errors :D, but my
sld wasn't changing.
I say this in case anyone else has the same issues.
1. if http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms/mysld.sld doesn't work try:
myLayer.mergeNewParams({sld :'*file:///yourfilepath/mysld.sld*'});
and maybe add the style:null too :)
myLayer.mergeNewParams({sld :'file:///yourfilepath/mysld.sld', *styles: null
*});
2. Make sure that your new sld that is overriding the old sld is in the
SAME location as that original sld (this was another mistake of mine, didn't
work with the sld in a new location...).
3. Make sure that if your adding a label to the layer with something like *
<Label><ogc:PropertyName>name_rom</ogc:PropertyName>* that it does exist in
your layer's data etc.
Many thanks to this community and to Joshua for patient and constant
follow-up to ensure I got things working. Your are most kind. I really did
Google this a lot and similar threads came up, but none I saw that some used
file:// instead of http:// and this was the big problem for me.
I hope this will help others in the future :)
Happy Mapping,
elshae
