[postgis-users] How to get a java.awt.Polygon from a postgis wkb geometry column?

[Kevin Neufeld]

java.awt.Polygon?  It's not very efficient, but you could try to read 
the PostGIS geometry as WKB using JTS 
(http://www.vividsolutions.com/JTS/JTSHome.htm), then iterate through 
the coordinates in the exterior ring, extracting the raw x,y to pass as 
an argument to java.awt.Polygon (int[] xpoints, int[] ypoints, int npoints)

This thread has some thoughts to read from a PostGIS database:

Hope this helps.
