(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.
