[Geoserver-devel] Labeling in Geoserver

I'm not too sure, but the kind folks on Geoserver-devel (cced) should likely have some answers.

best regards,

Dear Sir,
I am working on an University Project. I have some geospatial data in
GML. Through GML, I have information about points and lines(geometry
object types) in the vector surface. Now I want to label the maps and
lines using an algorithm by Lars Harrie who is my professor. The
algorithm uses the object data to place the labels optimally.

As a beginner, I would like to know how geoserver places labels and
how can I change the label position by programming?

If you have time, could you please tell me about this.
Thanks for your cooperation in advance,
Robin
