Spatial Types Platform

For those interested in Spatial types, we'd like to know if Windows only support would work. It would be some extra work to ensure that they are work across all platforms, which is why we are asking. Also, do you use JPOX spatial types in your applications? Thanks.

I've developed the open source Hibernate Spatial extension to Hibernate. This extension enables hibernate persistence for spatial types. Currently it works with MySQL, postgis and Oracle Spatial. I'd like to add MS Sqlserver to this list.

Windows-only support will definitely not work for me.

I'd be happy to implement conversion to and from Java geometry objects if only I could understand the binary layout of the geometry objects. Is there any document or spec that provides this information?

This is a hot topic for us too - we've already moved some part of our mapping data for our applications onto sql server but we need the hibernate spatial stuff to do a full job, so we'd be really pleased if this was sorted.

We have provided the reqested information to Karel. By the way Tim, are you interested in Euclidean geometry or you are interested in three dimensional geometry too?
