[postgis-devel] Re: [postgis-users] Spatial Object Queries - complete

[Chris Hodgson]

Norman, what exactly does this mean? We're presently using hibernate 
with PostGIS, we basically put together a UserType that uses the 
JtsParser/JtsWriter (very similar to the usertype that is buried 
somewhere deep in /java/ in svn). We're using HQL for most of our 
queries but have to resort to SQL for spatial-based queries using &&.

Will your code let us do && queries using HQL? How do spatial queries 
interact with the various levels of caching? Can it just plug into 
Hibernate without having to change any Hibernate code, like usertypes 
and such?

I'm very interested to hear how this works and see the code.
