[postgis-users] State of the postgis hibernate union?

[Norman Barker]

hi,

when i first wrote the postgis driver it was just an experiment to see if it would work. The code for the usertype is very simple, but it works and there is a tutorial in svn. I am not part of the hibernate spatial project, but they have done the real work and created an application framework - i need to put some of my work in and then i will probably deprecate the code in the ejb folder in postgis unless i hear otherwise.

Though not the place for a framework debate, grails (http://www.grails.org) works really well with hibernate, and it also simple to embed openlayers in a jsp

Hi guys,

Sorry for cross posting, I'm new to the lists and not sure on where this 
belongs.

I'm currently involved in a project with GIS functionality.
Architecture is roughly like this:
* Apache Tomcat
* Wicket 1.3 / Geoserver 1.6
* Hibernate
* PostgreSQL 8.2 + PostGIS 1.2.1
We're using maven2 as build system for all this.

Currently I'm looking to set up EJB persistence for domain beans 
containing persistence. Using hibernate annotations.

1. Maven repository for the postgis jar
I found this: 
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-devel/2006-November/002375.html
And it seems perfect, had it only been updated to latest and greatest 
version.
Are there any plans for an updated driver?

2. EJB and hibernate UserTypes
I found EJB3 code in the postgis driver source, contributed by norman baker.
I found http://www.hibernatespatial.org/ , which seems to fit.
I found http://www.foss4g2007.org/presentations/view.php?abstract_id=118
To bad I missed foss4g...

Seems to me all of the above do the same thing as I want.
I'm interested in the direction / roadmap for the postGIS EJB3 development.
Which should I use, according to the postGIS community?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
Per-Olof Norén
