exportformatgeoserverlibrarysld
I'm developing an app that can create/edit shapefiles and visual representation of vector layers and to export them to some of most common geoportals(f.ex. GeoServer).
I have dealt with .shp, so now i need to deal with styles' code.
I already looked into C++ libs for XML creation, but I think there might be a specific lib for just exactly SHP+SLD exportation.
Is there a library (preferably C++) for SLD export of vector layer styles?
If you want migrate from OCAD on some free & open-source software then highly recommend you OpenOrienteering Mapper (OOMapper for short) - cartographic desktop publishing software for creating and printing maps (distributed with symbol sets for orienteering maps, but other symbol sets could be created in easy way directly in OOMapper).
OpenOrienteering Mapper's site - http://www.openorienteering.org/apps/mapper/
As advantage of migrating on OOMapper from OCAD:
At this point OpenOrienteering Mapper is free & open-source alternative to OCAD. So, if you already has some own created maps in .ocd (OCAD) or .dxf format you could easy open this map for editing in OOMapper too!

The Community Edition can only export single layers, you'll need to upgrade to Pro if you want create a single SLD file for your entire Map. After your selection, click on the Export button and you will be asked for a location to export to.

Another option can be using User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) which is JAVA based. I tested this software to create sld for geoserver.
