*//* Thank for reply soon, it's much appreciated. According to your mail, so I can write my own action controller (due to Struts framework) and call action from front end of GeoServer step by step for adding a new shape file (for example: three files)?
Am I right?
Have you got any documentations about this implement or links?

There are the original design documents here - http://vwfs.refractions.net/
And there is the geoserver developer docs of course.

Note defining a new FeatureType is not something a WFS actually does, so what you are
actually doing is defining an external configuration program.

Andrea has done some research here recently - in order to look into non STRUTS web frameworks for our config user interface, perhaps he can recommend an easier way. For that matter you could just define a servlet to do what you want, and gather together the parts of GeoServer 1.4.x into your own application using maven.

Why not stop by the IRC meeting later today and talk to the developers, we would always like an extra set of hands and perhaps what you describe would make a good community module.
