We use the Eclipse IDE for developing the mobile application because Android is distributed with a plug-in for Eclipse. The Android Emulator can be managed from Eclipse.
The catalogue service runs from an installation of Apache Tomcat, which we run on a separate machine so that we do not overload the development machine. The CSW obtains its metadata from an installation of the PostgreSQL database and its spatial extension PostGIS. The CSW and the PostgreSQL/PostGIS database reside on the same machine to reduce the transmission time for geospatial objects retrieved from the database.
When populating the CSW with metadata we had to harvest metadata from existing Z39.50 servers. To do this, we used the Iharvest application that is distributed with ISite Z39.50 software. We then created a program that reads the harvested metadata, transforms the XML into Insert requests and sends the requests to the CSW. For transforming and inserting the metadata, we used Netbeans IDE because it has better XML and web service development support.

Is it from the Z39.50 that you obtain the location info?
