named styles (rfc-39) for raster and annotation layers missing

[mko]

Mapserver ignores classgroup and corresponding class/group parameters for raster layers. A url parameter &STYLES=xxx will apply to vector layers only.

Possible fix in msGetClass():

  for(i=0; i<layer->numclasses; i++) {
+    if ( layer->class[i]->group && layer->classgroup && strcasecmp(layer->class[i]->group, layer->classgroup) != 0 )
+        continue;
     if (layer->class[i]->expression.string == NULL) /* Empty expression - always matches */
         return(i);

title changed

note that the maputil.c patch contains all commented lines.

[mko]

... and php_mapscript.c should contain a set function for the classgroup parameter:

else IF_SET_STRING("classgroup",   self->classgroup)

[assefa]

php mapscript updated. changed the milestone. Will fix it for next release.

What's the status of this?

Replying to dmorissette:

What's the status of this?

I did apply the changes for mapraster and maputil to the 5.6.0 release and it still works as expected, making (in case of WMS) &STYLES=color|gray possible for palette raster data and annotations.

By the way, at  http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html NOTE that MapServer does not support named styles should be changed to NOTE that MapServer supports named styles for vector data only (as long this ticket is'nt fully discussed).
