I had a similar situation. I created a vrt file that pointed to my csv
file, then ran a one line ogr script to convert the vrt into a shapefile,
which GeoServer read fine. My vrt and ogr command line are as follows:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
<OGRVRTLayer name="dataout">
<SrcDataSource>C:\data\dataout.csv</SrcDataSource>
<GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
<GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="x" y="y" z="value"/>
</OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>
ogr2ogr -overwrite -f "ESRI_Shapefile" -a_srs EPSG:26957
C:\data\interp\airtemps.shp C:\data\dataout.vrt
