But the use of native libraries(awt,jai,gdal-jni) can be a bottle neck. Can these dependencies be dynamically injected ? The google app-engine concept sounds very enticing.

Off the top of my mind: * AppEngine has no support for the java graphics library, and GeoServer uses that one very heavily * the catalog persistence, the spatial referencing, the styling subsystem require read/write access to the file system, AppEngine has no such concept as a file system * GeoServer needs to set some system variables on startup to bend the referencing subsystem into using lon/lat order by default, unfortunately that won't work in AppEngine Whilst the second and third reason might be worked out by a developer with the necessary time, the first is a roadblock that is not going to go away anytime soon, just recently a Google guy stated they currently have no plans on supporting the java.awt packages: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/browse_thread/thread/1d929a4a17389664 ChrisW, there are no plans at the moment and it might not be possible for a few reasons.

Are there any particular reasons why this might not be possible? Just curious, but are there any plans to try porting GeoServer onto Google’s Java AppEngine platform?

In the IE7 i find out that Data Source Name field in the forms dont appear. In Firefox it´s OK. Congratulations for the knew look of geoserver. I would like to colaborate in translate it to portuguese. I am testing the geoserver2-alpha. In the IE7 i find out that Data Source Name field in the forms dont appear. In Firefox it´s OK.
