The reason I use MapServer is because it can do so much more than just OGC specifications and for a Java server noob like me, it was easy to get started.  MapServer for Windows (MS4W) and FGS (linux installer) make the MapSever easy to get going.   But I know those who are comfortable with java servers and such have similarly easy approaches.  

Can someone tell me if Deegree ONLY does OGC/ISO specs or does it do others as well?
