Class JoiningJDBCFeatureSource

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FeatureSource<SimpleFeatureType,​SimpleFeature>, SimpleFeatureSource

    public class JoiningJDBCFeatureSource
    extends JDBCFeatureSource
    This is where the magic happens. The Joining JDBC Feature Source is a "hacking" class rather than a proper subclass. It provides functionality for executing 'joining queries'. Because only simple features can be returned by the existing geotools database logic, these joins on the db are not used for linking the actual features together, but only for putting the simple features in a certain order; an order that will allow us to do the actual feature chaining faster when we are building the complex features, because the right features will already be lined up in the right order.
