Hallo,
After my email to the GeoTools2-Users mailing list about implementing a WAS, Chris Holmes suggested that it should be done as an extension of GeoServer. I think it is a sensible option, but as I am a newbie to the domain, Geoserver looks a bit daunting. I managed to get the code into Eclipse using Tortoise SVN and Subclipse (I used import |Existing Project into Workspace). I have a local copy of the source distribution on my machine (1.3.0-RC2), and started to poke around in the code. I have no idea where to start. My gut feel is to duplicate the WFS implementation in Geoserver and to rename it to WAS - I can then remove parts that is not applicable to a WAS and then slowly start to add the WAS specific things. Any suggestions | pointers | help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Herman
PS: I have sent a similar email to the GT2-users mailing list as my original email was to that list. But I think this mail should be directed to the geoserver developer community rather.

Here is a tutorial we just put up on GetFeature requests. It shows you the starting point of geoserver where a request comes in. Most things are conifgured in the web.xml file. But read the tutorial to get a feel of what Geoserver is doing and where it does it.
