Spatial Java API
The spatial Java™ API enables Java applications to access geometry features that are stored in databases that contain spatial data. The spatial Java API provides classes to work with spatial objects from Java client-side programs. The client-side objects are called value objects. Spatial value objects can also be created and examined by Java methods that parallel some of the spatial data functions.
Important: The Java API
can read from the database, but cannot write to it.
The accompanying Javadoc provides
detailed information about all packages, classes, and methods. The Javadoc is installed in extend/spatial.version/doc/java/docs.jar.
To view the Javadoc, you
must first extract the files from the JAR file. For example, you can
use the following command:
jar -xf docs.jar
