Hi Patick,
Cool stuff.
If you are interested in doing processing you should check out the wps
community module being worked on by Andrea. It is a service dedicated to
building processes for analysis and the such. It is quite open ended.
As for an example. Basically look at the DefaultWebFeatureService,
DeafultMapService and DefaultCoverageService classes in the wfs, wms, and
wcs modules respectively. They all implement GetCapaiblities with the same
pattern.
