[postgis-users] Can ArcView view the maps stored in postGIS tables?

[Christian Schwartze]

I had some experiences with programming for ArcSDE using the SDK (Java).
There is also an API for ArcGIS that you can use. Maybe it is a possible
approach for your project like mine - because in connection with PL/Java
for Postgres I wrote stored procedures for retrieving data from ArcSDE.
I also suggest geotools and jts for java developing in spatial context.

Regards,
Christian.
