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). christian Vincent Heurteaux writes: > Salut Christian, > > We've the same concern and are involved in several project that needs > INSPIRE conformance.
