The GeoServer project is a full transactional Java (J2EE) implementation of the OpenGIS Consortium's Web Feature Server (WFS) specification with a completely integrated Web Map Server (WMS). Users who would like to access and modify their geographic data over the Internet using flexible, industry-approved standards should take a look at GeoServer or one of the existing commercial Web Feature Servers. It is built as a thin layer on top of the excellent GeoTools2 GIS toolkit, and includes a STRUTs-based Web administration interface for easy configuration.
