I tried to send you all my mssql data source as you can see below - but the mailing list refused the zip file.
If anybody wants it then send me an email and I'll send you a copy.

Subject: RE: [Geoserver-devel] MSSQL Spatial data source
My company doesn't want to commit to maintaining the data source beyond creating a version to work with the current version of Geoserver, and I personally don't have the time.
So here is what I have done for what it is worth to you all.
Don't forget it is dependent upon mssqlspatial from codeplex.
It is also dependent upon sqljdbc.jar from Microsoft, I have added a maven repository dependency to the pom.xml file however it doesn't exisit in any of the repositories so I have included the jar file in a lib director and a batch file for doing a manual install of it into your local repository.

I've created an SQLServer Spatial data source for the codeplex
mssqlspatial extensions.I created this by modifying the DB2 version.
I have updated the unit tests as well as the code and it seems to work
fine.Could somebody tell me what the procedure is to donate this ?
First of all, thank you for you contribution 
As for sharing the code, you should address the geotools project, since it's there that datastores are kept. I guess you've developed it against the db2 code found in geotools 2.2.1 or something similar.
Now, usually a developer steps in and provides a module and also becomes its mantainer. Being a mantainer means fixing bugs that users do find, and making the module elvolve along with geotools.
It also means porting the module to the current geotools trunk, which has a different API for feature management.
So, all in all, it's quite a bit of work and requires commitment.
If you're not wishing to bear that work, I guess we'll have to find a way to put your code somewhere waiting for someone interested to pick it and mantaining it, but we shall accept it in any case.
Let me know what you intend to do.
Cheers
Andrea
PS: btw, another user was interested in a spatial datastore for mssql datastore on the users mailing list, thought I don't know if he's using the MsSqlSpatial extension or not...
