There are a number of classes in the wms module for generating kml:

http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/wms/src/main/java/org/vfny/geoserver/wms/responses/map/kml/

There coupled tightly to the WMS chain but could probably be reused.

Hi Irman,

Actually no the wms spec does not bind one to returning an image. The spec has the notion of "output formats". An output format can return non image content types such as svg, kml, rss, etc...

And this indeed is what geoserver uses to return KML. Take a regular WMS request for a png image and change the output format to "kml" and you will get kml back.
