So, I will have a look at the GeoTools pages. Thanks for your quick
response.
Michael.

above (2006-02-10). We have some customers using monoGIS and Geomedia
MDBs, who are interested in WFS-T functionality. Support for WFS-T
within monoGIS is out of scope for the moment. My favorite solution
right now is to use geoserver for this, as we already successfuly
using it with Oracle Spatial datastore.
If today an active module maintainer exists, I would be pleased to
sent him my comments and some improvements we made in monoGIS (like
support for arc and multi-polygon geometries, etc.). Indeed, I already
sent them to the original maintainer a year ago.
I do believe it's unmantained.
If the module still does not have an active maintainer, I may be
willing to invest some time on this topic. But before I have to check
its feasibility, e.g. one of the things I would need for this are some
references (tools to use, svn url, coding rules,..). I am not quite
sure if the changes have to be done both in geotools, in geoserver or
both projects? Some advice would be helpful.
Since it's a datastore, work is to be performed mainly in Geotools.
The developers guide is here and should provide you with the information
needed to get started: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/Home
You'll have to decide on which geotools branch to operate, too.
Geoserver 1.4.x is built against the 2.2.x branch, it's considered stable
but won't be probably be developed anymore.
Geoserver 1.5.x is built against the 2.3.x branch, it's the current focus
and is going to turn into mantainance mode once we release 1.5.0 (it may be
that we'll add some minor features to it, but nothing earth shaking).
Geoserver 1.6.x (current trunk) is built against geotools trunk, and it's
the place for any new major development (wfs 1.1 and the like).
Hope this helps
Cheers
Andrea
