Class ThreadedPostgreSQLEpsgFactory

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    AuthorityFactory, CRSAuthorityFactory, CSAuthorityFactory, DatumAuthorityFactory, Factory, CoordinateOperationAuthorityFactory, BufferedFactory, Factory, OptionalFactory, RegistrableFactory
    public class ThreadedPostgreSQLEpsgFactory
extends ThreadedEpsgFactory
    Connection to the EPSG database in PostgreSQL database engine using JDBC. The EPSG database can be downloaded from http://www.epsg.org. It should have been imported into a PostgreSQL database, which doesn't need to be on the local machine.

    Connection parameters

    The preferred way to specify connection parameters is through the JNDI interface. However, this datasource provides the following alternative as a convenience: if a "EPSG-DataSource.properties" file is found in current directory or in the user's home directory, then the following properties are fetch. Note that the default value may change in a future version if a public server become available.

    Property Type Description Geotools Default
    serverName String PostgreSQL database server host name localhost
    databaseName String PostgreSQL database name EPSG
    schema String The schema for the EPSG tables
    portNumber int TCP port which the PostgreSQL database server is listening on 5432
    user String User used to make database connections GeoTools
    password String Password used to make database connections GeoTools

    The database version is given in the edition attribute of the authority. The postgreSQL database should be read only.

    Just having this class accessible in the classpath, together with the registration in the META-INF/services/ directory, is sufficient to get a working EPSG authority factory backed by this database. Vendors can create a copy of this class, modify it and bundle it with their own distribution if they want to connect their users to an other database.
