Convert fron ArcIMS axl-files to Mapserver map-files
Norges geologiske undersøkelse (NGU) faser nå ut ArcIMS. ArcIMS-tjenestene skal i hovedsak over til Mapserver. Vi har et stort antall tjenester og fant det nødvendig å lage et XSLT-script som konverterer fra axl-konfigurasjonen (ArcIMS) til map-konfigurasjonen (Mapserver).

''Geological Survey (NGU) phases out ArcIMS. ArcIMS services will mainly be ported to the Mapserver. We have a large number of services and found it necessary to create an XSLT script which converts from the axl configuration (ArcIMS) to the map configuration (Mapserver).''

Kjøring / execution:
 * java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN foo.axl -XSL axl2mapNGU.xsl -OUT foo.map
 * Add in axl-file right after first line - open file in Web browser: 

Known issues:
 * Support renderer types that is mostly used by the NGU. Should be easy to add renderer types with the 
 * GROUPRENDERER with multple elements will result in multiple CLASS sections with identical names. Edit and integrate into unique classes manually.
 * SCALEDEPENDENTRENDERER is not supported. Create a separate layer for this.
 * The type attribute in axl renderers are converted directly to a SYMBOL reference i the map-file like: SYMBOL "star" or SYMBOL "dot". Additional symbols must be defined for this.
