The module is in an abandoned state. OGR and GDAL are unfortunately one, so I was waiting for imageio-ext to update to GDAL 1.7 before I could actually use the OGR java bindings as well. That took over a year and in the meantime some api changed, so the module does not even build at the moment. >Have you ever used it in a > geoserver?

I had GS read shapefiles via OGR, performance was acceptable (of course not as far as using the shapefile store module, crossing the JNI barrier for each call is expensive). I think I was shooting for read only but it's been a long time ago. > I would like to contribute docs or could even patches if required. > Could anybody give me a hint for an example installation / > configuration where I can start addapting it to the nautical stuff? > > I' like to get maps rendered with styles defined in IHO S-57.

Anyways, to have that working I guess you should take the same GDAL version imageio-ext is using, build it from sources and create the java OGR bindings and then go from there, update the module to use the SimpleFeature api and so on. If you want to take over the module, please go ahead, it's in unsupported land so regardless of having my name on it, I'm not actually maintaining it.
