Hello Justin
thanks for your feedback.
Sorry to get back into this after a long time, but I came back to give
a try with this mongodb plugin only today.
I could successfully install the plugin in GeoServer, and now I can
create a MongoDB store in GeoServer.
What I cannot figure out is how I can use my test MongoDB with it.
As soon as I create the MongoDB datastore, a "New Layer" page is
displayed, and the layer list is empty.
There is a link to "Create new feature type...", and I click on it.
I try adding some attributes, including a geometric one, but as soon
as I try to save the new vector layer, a "
Field 'Type name' is required." message is displayed and the layer
cannot be created.
Is there anyone that could give me some more details?
thanks a lot

Hi Paolo,
There is currently an unsupported module in GeoTools that provides access to
mongo, but its not being released through GeoServer in any way.
We have a few clients interested in mongo support and have recently looked
at the plugin. Unfortunately the plug-in is a bit specific to the original
authors needs. It involves setting up specific mapping functions to map a
mongo collection to something the datastore can consume. That said I can
confirm that it works with some wrangling.
In our evaluation of it we decided we wanted make the plugin a bit more
generic and be able to handle collections structured in multiple ways. But
that work has yet to start.
And in the meantime the geospatial support in mongo has changed with the
coming of version 2.4, which now has real support (with index) for lines and
polygons.

Hi list
I have seen this presentation on slideshare [1], and I would like to
get a try to the MongoDB plugin.
Was it finally released?
Only thing I could find is a GeoTools plugin [2], wondering if there
is anything more consolidated or if I can find any sort of
documentation to use the plugin in GeoServer
thanks
