A Style Group in GeoServer is created with a Style Layer Descriptor SLD document. It is a way of adding multiple layers to a Layer Group in one line item.
We created a Style Layer Descriptor for Canadian Provinces and Territories (attached).
There are 7 layers in the group, 1-7. Each has successively higher resolution shape data. They are all styled identically, except that each layer only occupies a designated style range as follows:
Unfortunately, the MapML extension is limiting the zoom range to only that spanned by 1.shp. i.e. 0-3. The system does not note a min/max scale in the capabilities document, so I think this is a bug.
If I create a Layer Group, and add each layer, each with its own sld, the \ reflects the overall scale range.
