<div style="direction: ltr;">Hi Frank,<br>I am sending this email in order to provide some status update on the<br>work we are doing on the Java bindings in order to use them from<br>Jai_imageIO stack of libraries.<br><br>
During the Summer Of Code for Refractions, I have added some lines of<br></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span class="q">code to the " Band.i" interface contained into the gdal\swig\Include<br>subdirectory in
</span>order to expose the method GetBlockSize via SWIG. <br>This is important to me in order to preperly access large rasters using tiling.<br></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span class="q"><br>After some email exchange (among you, me and Mr. Charlie Savage), you
<br>have committed the final version of the " Band.i" interface file<br>containing the proposed (and fixed) GetBlockSize binding.<br><br>However, the available java SWIG bindings as well as wrappers (to be<br>more precise: gdal\swig\java\org\gdal\gdal\Band.java and
<br>gdal\swig\java\gdal_wrap.cpp (Thus, also gdaljni.dll)) <br>was not be updated and they does not contain<br>any reference to GetBlockSize methods.<br>Could you provide to update also these bindings? (You need to run SWIG
<br>to build the updated version of bindings).<br><br>Finally, as I stated some day ago, I'm back working on the GDALImageIO<br>integration proposal in order to improve its capabilities and reach a<br>good point of development.
<br><br>Actually, I have improved and updated the GDALImageReader framework<br></span></div>and I'm starting with building the GDALImageWriter framework with<br>help from GeoSolutions<br>company which is funding (and keeping track of) part of this work. I
<br>think you already talked to one of the guys who run the company,<br>Simone Giannecchini, he is a contributor of GeoTools and GeoServer as<br>well as a contributor of ImageIO.<br><br>Our objective is to gain access to the wide set of raster formats
<br>supported by GDAL in order to be able to do some good data processing<br>on them using Java Advanced Imaging.<br><br clear="all">-- <br>Best Regards,<br>Daniele
