swig mapscript generateSLD does not work for 50% of layers

[woodbri]

Only 16 of 32 layers generated useful SLD files using perl mapscript. using mapserver 6.2.0-beta1. I can supply the whole mapfile if it is needed.

MapServer version 6.2.0-beta1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=GD 
SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=CAIRO SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI 
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=JPEG 
INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Here is my perl script:

woodbri@mappy:~/work/geoserver$ cat mapfile2sld
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use mapscript;

sub Usage {
    die "Usage: mapfile2sld mapfile out_dir\n";
}

my $mf  = shift @ARGV || Usage();
my $dir = shift @ARGV || Usage();

mkdir $dir, 0777;
die "Directory '$dir' does not exist or failed to create it! : $!\n"
    unless -d $dir;

my $oMap = new mapscript::mapObj( $mf );

for (my $i=0; $i<$oMap->{numlayers}; $i++) {

    my $oLay = $oMap->getLayer($i);

    my $SLD = $oLay->generateSLD();

    my $fname = "$dir/" . $oLay->{name} . ".xml";
    open(OUT, ">$fname") || die "Failed to create '$fname'! : $!\n";
    print OUT $SLD;
    close(OUT);
}

16 of the files contain nothing more than this:

woodbri@mappy:~/work/geoserver/tiger2011-mc$ cat linear_water.xml
<StyledLayerDescriptor version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/sld" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/sld http://schemas.opengis.net/sld/1.0.0/StyledLayerDescriptor.xsd">
</StyledLayerDescriptor>

Here is the layer definition:

Also I noticed that none of the PointSymbolizer objects in the XML are filled in.

Ok, the layer must have STATUS ON to be output as SLD.

So the PointSymbolizer objects in the XML are not filled in.
