<div>Whoa! Thanks guys... sounds like its gonna be trivial. </div>

<div>What would be some advantages to taking the abstract 3 tier approach? Any performance issues? </div>

<div>Also (sorry this may be slightly off-topic) am I correct in my understanding that Geoserver is kinda like a Java substitute to Mapserver? </div>
