Dan,
Take a look at CARIS Spatial Fusion. You may be aware that CARIS is one of the big players in the marine mapping industry having more than 40 navy and national hydrographic surveys (among which NOAA, US Corps of Engineers,..) using our software to create anything from ready press-ready paper maps to S57 Electronic Navigation Charts. currently we don't support Novell Netware as a backend platform for our (CORBA) mapping services: those run on Solaris and windows - however the front end is all Java.
CARIS built a S57 web app with US Corps of Engineers for the Atchafalaya area:

> #1. I have a background in the web and network technology.
> The server we will host this on will be a clustered Compaq

> backbone. Half a terabyte of disk should be enough. The
> backups will be done on a DAT jukebox doing backups in real
> time (the backup window just could not be large enough).
>
> #2. The GIS web interface platform must run on a J2EE engine.
>
> #3. The DB of choice is Pervasive SQL2000. We chose this
> platform because the data set built on this engine would
> require NO modification if we changed Operating Systems. The
> data engine is truly cross platform: you just copy the data
> to the new platform, load the new engine and you are up and running.
>
> #4. The OS of choice in our minds is NetWare 6 from Novell,
> the leader in Net Services Software. Their platform is going
> to be the most secure. The link to the DB for access will
> use their single sign-on technology and eDirectory. I have
> 15 years in network design and implementation.

> #5. The part about our being a publicly funded charity, means
> the public not the government. If they give us data and
> their help, we won't turn it down. We will be going after the
> corporations that have made their money while polluting the

> for positive environmental projects. We will also be looking
> to the general public to fund this. This is the private
> sector and the benefit for your donation is a tax deduction.
