Are you trying to serve SNPs from an ensembl-format SNP
database?  There is some code to do this, based on the
RefSNP and Hit tables of an ensembl database, in the
ensembl-das jar.  It hasn't been used for a while, though,
and I think the schema has changed slightly in the mean
time.  But if this is the sort of thing you're looking for,
it should be easy to fix the existing code.

    Thomas.
