Hi,
I’m working on a project where we need to visualize some spatial data stored in IBM Informix database. We have decided to use GeoServer. Can someone please give me some advice where to start. Does anyone have experience with Inofmix and GeoServer?
There is no official datastore for IBM Informix. Could I use some other data store? Another option would be to use IBM Informix WFS support.
Thanks for listening,
Kresimir Krizanovic

I don't believe you can use another data store, but writing a new one is
not impossibly hard, most of the framework to access
spatial databases is shared, one has to create a factory to create the
store, a "dialect" class and a sql encoder class, see here for examples:
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/tree/master/modules/plugin/jdbc
This would give you the best performance.
Or you can try the WFS store, yes, and check if compatibility and
performance are good enough for your case
Cheers
