Back again - just had a short irc/phone call with Chris. Basically we
really wish we had things flipped around like so:
org.vnfy.geoserver.wms
org.vnfy.geoserver.wfs
org.vnfy.geoserver.data

Where wms/wfs/data can do whatever they want (probably need a common
config entry point though)

But we don't have the above, and we don't have time right now to get
there. So we are going to continue with option 3...renaming "catalog" to 
"data" in case a real OGC catalog server shows up (rather than the 
existing zserver)

So at the end of the day:

WEB-INF/struts-config.xml
WEB-INF/tiles/
WEB-INF/pages/

package org.vnfy.geoserver
- seems to be common Exception Handling code + Tomcat

package org.vnfy.geoserver.action
package org.vnfy.geoserver.action.data
package org.vnfy.geoserver.action.wfs
package org.vnfy.geoserver.action.wms
- contains Struts Action (ie WMSDescriptionAction, WMSContentsAction )

package org.vnfy.geoserver.config
package org.vnfy.geoserver.config.data
package org.vnfy.geoserver.config.wfs
package org.vnfy.geoserver.config.wms
- contains Beans for current configuration (ie WMSConfig)

package org.vnfy.geoserver.config.xml
- processes xml read & write

package org.vnfy.geoserver.form
package org.vnfy.geoserver.form.data
package org.vnfy.geoserver.form.wfs
package org.vnfy.geoserver.form.wms
- contains ActionForms (aka FormBeans) (ie WMSDescriptionForm, 
WMSContentsForm )

package org.vnfy.geoserver.global
package org.vnfy.geoserver.global.data
package org.vnfy.geoserver.global.wfs
package org.vnfy.geoserver.global.wms
- contains the actual server state (ie WMSGlobal )
- actual beans probably saved in WebContainer (rather than singletons)
- catalog contains "real" gt2 DataStores with JDBC connections

package org.vnfy.geoserver.requests
package org.vnfy.geoserver.requests.readers
package org.vnfy.geoserver.requests.wfs
package org.vnfy.geoserver.requests.wms
- request parsing, processing

package org.vnfy.geoserver.response
package org.vnfy.geoserver.response.wfs
package org.vnfy.geoserver.response.wms
- manages top-level responses

package org.vnfy.geoserver.servlett
- contains all interface servlets, one for each WFS, WMS, GeoServer response
- our ActionForm subclass should go here?

package org.vnfy.geoserver.global.zserver
- a non j2ee front end
