Thanks Eric,
I find mapfish very interesting and I think I'll switch soon to it (being an openlayers user and knowing some bits of Pylons). What scares me a bit is that (as long as I understood from a quick look in the wiki) setting up a WFS is not as easy as writing a config file for feature server, but obviusly you must pay something in order to gain some flexibility. I'm going to subscribe soon to the mapfish mailing list, so maybe I'll ask for some help there. Thanks again!
