[postgis-users] PostGIS and Java

[Gérald Quintana]

Well I have been professionally developing in Java since 1999, so I
know what a classpath is. What I don't know is in which Jar theses
classes are located. The org.postgresql.Connection is not in
postgresql-8.2-508.*.jar, and org.postgresql.PGconnection class has
its addDataType methods deprecated and not operating.

If you read carefully my first message, you'll notice that I managed
to read geom data. But the example in the doco does not work for me, I
had to do it differently so I wonder whether I did it right or not.

The problem may be to related to the version of the JDBC driver I am
using, which one is known to work with postgis jars? I downloaded them
from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html using the "8.2 Build
508" row.

Cheers,
Gérald
