[postgis-users] JDBC2 Question

[Eli Dylan Lorimer]

Hi,
I've successfully installed PostgreSQL and I belive PostGIS. The  
postgis jar file is in my classpath, as is the postgresql. I am capable  
of querying a standard table via jdbc. What I cannot seem to do though  
is use the PostGIS JDBC extension objects so that I can directly access  
the spatial geometry. Specifically, the bit in the supplied code here:

((org.postgresql.Connection)conn).addDataType("geometry","org.postgis.PG 
geometry");
((org.postgresql.Connection)conn).addDataType("box3d","org.postgis.PGbox 
3d");

  isn't resolving. I'm getting this error:
org.postgresql.Connection cannot be resolved or isn't a type.

My imports are as follows:
import org.postgis.*;
import org.postgresql.*;

Any ideas?
