The GeoServer Project

From their website: http://geoserver.sourceforge.net/html/index.php

• 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.

It's not 100% clear to me how much this does. But, it looks like it would be a great place to start trying to make our own GIS-interactive tools. Or, maybe we should be starting with the GeoTools2 GIS Toolkit. I'll have to track that down, if it's separate.
