I must say this work is very commendable. Just reading about it for the first time. Though I am perfectly satisfied with postgis, however this work has huge potentials especially if it begins to have more functionality than postgis by virtue of the fact that it is in pure java. For example for embedded devices requiring a small footprint db (H2 or HSQLDB). From now on, I will keep an eye on the project. I also hope it will be brought to other databases e.g. oracle. probably to serve as an alternative to oracle spatial which depending on the use case can be too costly. Is there going to be a user mailing list ? Well done !!!

PLJAVA)??? and H2 To: Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" (sorry for the cross posting) After one year of development, we are pleased to announce the release 0.1RC1 of JASPA (JAva SPAtial). JASPA potentially brings around 200 spatial functions to any relational database system that supports a full set of java store procedures. In this 0.1 version JASPA supports PostgreSQL and H2, and we are already working with HSQLDB. JASPA has a similar functionality as PostGIS 1.4, supporting spatial operators and predicates, arrays of geometries, spatial aggregates, etc. JASPA is written in java and is easy to extend using java store procedures. JASPA is licensed under the GNU GPL. This project has been possible thanks to other open source projects. Besides to take advantage of these projects we have used their mailing lists and they helped us a lot. The JASPA team is very grateful to them: - PostGIS. The mirror on which JASPA has been looking at. - JTS (Java Topology Suite). This library is widely used in JASPA and many open source initiatives bringing the possibility to use spatial analysis to the java open source world. - GeoTools (used for projections, KML support and Shape to JASPA converters) - PostgreSQL and PLJAVA (Java store procedures for PostgreSQL) - H2 and H2Spatial (a Java database and its spatial extension used at the beginning of JASPA) - HSQLDB (a Java database which probably will be supported by JASPA in the next release) - gvSIG (a desktop SIG which we hope it can connect to JASPA soon) The authors of this project are: ? Jose C. Martinez-Llario. Developer and project director. (1) ? Marta Gonzalez-Alcaide. Tester and document builder. (1) ? (1)? ? Deparment of Cartographic Engineering, Geodesy and Photogrammetry at La Universidad Politecnica de Valencia (Spain). ? Any contributor is very welcomed to join the JASPA project.
