Class DriverWrapper

java.lang.Object

org.postgresql.Driver

net.postgis.jdbc.DriverWrapper

All Implemented Interfaces:

Driver

Direct Known Subclasses:

DriverWrapperAutoprobe, DriverWrapperLW

public class DriverWrapper
extends org.postgresql.Driver

DriverWrapper Wraps the PostGreSQL Driver to transparently add the PostGIS Object Classes. This avoids the need of explicit addDataType() calls from the driver users side. This method currently works with J2EE DataSource implementations, and with DriverManager framework. Simply replace the "jdbc:postgresql:" with a "jdbc:postgresql_postGIS:" in the jdbc URL. When using the drivermanager, you need to initialize DriverWrapper instead of (or in addition to) org.postgresql.Driver. When using a J2EE DataSource implementation, set the driver class property in the datasource config, the following works for jboss: <driver-class>net.postgis.jdbc.DriverWrapper</driver-class> If you don't like or want to use the DriverWrapper, you have two alternatives, see the README file. Also note that the addDataType() methods known from earlier pgjdbc versions are deprecated in pgjdbc 8.0, see the commented code variants in the addGisTypes() method. This wrapper always uses EWKT as canonical text representation, and thus works against PostGIS 1.x servers as well as 0.x (tested with 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0).

Constructor Detail

DriverWrapper

public DriverWrapper()
              throws SQLException

Default constructor. This also loads the appropriate TypesAdder for our SQL Driver instance.

Throws:

SQLException - when a SQLException occurs

Method Detail

getTypesAdder

protected static DriverWrapper.TypesAdder getTypesAdder(org.postgresql.Driver d)
                                                 throws SQLException

Throws:

SQLException

connect

public Connection connect(String url,
                          Properties info)
                   throws SQLException

Creates a postgresql connection, and then adds the PostGIS data types to it calling addpgtypes().

Specified by:

connect in interface Driver

Overrides:

connect in class org.postgresql.Driver

Parameters:

url - the URL of the database to connect to

info - a list of arbitrary tag/value pairs as connection arguments

Returns:

a connection to the URL or null if the driver does not support the subprotocol specified in the URL

Throws:

SQLException - if a database access error occurs

See Also:

Driver.connect(java.lang.String, java.util.Properties), Driver

useLW

protected boolean useLW(Connection result)

Do we have HexWKB as well known text representation - to be overridden by subclasses.

Parameters:

result - Connection to check

Returns:

true if using EWKB, false otherwise

acceptsURL

public boolean acceptsURL(String url)

Check whether the driver thinks he can handle the given URL.

Specified by:

acceptsURL in interface Driver

Overrides:

acceptsURL in class org.postgresql.Driver

Parameters:

url - the URL of the driver

Returns:

true if this driver accepts the given URL

See Also:

Driver.acceptsURL(java.lang.String)

getVersion

public static String getVersion()

Returns our own CVS version plus postgres Version

Returns:

String value reprenstation of the version

addGISTypes

public static void addGISTypes(org.postgresql.PGConnection pgconn)
                        throws SQLException

adds the JTS/PostGIS Data types to a PG 7.3+ Connection. If you use PostgreSQL jdbc drivers V8.0 or newer, those methods are deprecated due to some class loader problems (but still work for now), and you may want to use the method below instead.

Parameters:

pgconn - The PGConnection object to add the types to

Throws:

SQLException - when a SQLException occurs

addGISTypes80

public static void addGISTypes80(org.postgresql.PGConnection pgconn)
