[udig-devel] hibernate-spatial

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just had another thought; if you are coming at this problem from a 
computer science background you could always just use uDig as an 
integration platform.

Capture your data model with hibernate (I think there is a 
hibernate-spatial project now, but when I did it in the past it was as 
simple as making a UserType for Geometry). The idea is to use uDig to 
visualize your spatial tables (directly out of H2) as it stands; and get 
the ID information of any selected features; turn around and use those 
IDs to query hibernate to get access to your full live domain model 
(relationships etc in tack).

I have done up one of these Hibernate + uDig systems previously, I just 
did not consider using that with H2 in order to give you your 
relationships now rather than later.

Cheers,
Jody
