Good news, as far as i see, there is no other csw implementation based on 
geotools. MDweb2 is a now a hot candidate. 

I would like to join your development efforts. 

Questions: 

1) Which version of geotools do you use. Looking in the war file I see gt 
jars with version 2.9. ??????? 

2) I need a german translation which I could contribute, are all String 
externalized (I have seen en and fr property files) 

3) I have to deploy into Webshpere Application Server (my challenge, I did 
the same successfully with geoserver) 

4) I cannot use postgres/postgis. My target is DB2. Does your design make it 
possible to implement a db2  access module.
(Btw, I can contribute an oracle/mysql module, I did the same for my  
geotools imagemosaic-jdbc  plugin).
