Well, I guess you can follow two different paths: * build a pure java module. This, properly coded, should give you better speed and less cross platform headaches, but the datastore API is in a state of flux at the moment so you may have to adjust the results of your work later * complete my abandoned OGR datastore (located in module/unsupported/ogr) and leverage the OGR support for Informix datablade in OGR to connect to the database. You'll also have to pick up the right branch depending on which version of GeoServer you have to use. If you plan to use the 1.6.x series you'll have to work on the gt2 2.4.x branch (trunk is quite a few months away from being released and quite a bit more unstable). Given your experience with OGR I guess you'll lend for the second option. Just a bit of warning. Using OGR in GeoServer is a whole different story than using it in MapServer. In GeoServer the OGR library will be loaded once and then used for days or months. A single memory leak and you're doomed. A single segfault and the whole virtual machine goes bye bye. You'll have to make sure the code is picture perfect or you'll end up with a pretty unstable GeoServer install.
