[OSGeo-Discuss] Java access to native MySQL Geometry

[Simon Greener]

Folks,

Not sure where to ask this question.

If anyone can point me to better places to do so...

I am investigating whether it is possible to access MySQL's GEOMETRY data natively via Java. I do not wish to access the data via WKT or WKB if I can avoid it.

Does anyone know of any open source Java resources that could help me do this?

regards
Simon
