Got it - this is the part about which I was unclear.  Unfortunately, my
general knowledge of OpenGIS standards postdates WKT.

Yes, fair enough.  You know, I have actually already extended your Java
(JDBC) classes to make this conversion a little easier.  If you are
interested in having them, let me know and I will send them your way when I
get some time.  These probably solve the problem for many of your likely
users.

Best Regards,
Rob
