Introduction

JPOX-Spatial allows the use of JPOX as persistence layer for geospatial applications in an environment that supports the OGC SFA specification. It defines type mappings to let JPOX know how to persist a number of different Java geometry types (JTS, PostGIS-JDBC geometry types, Oracle's JGeometry). Thus a Java developer can mix spatial and non-spatial datatypes in his POJOs and can rely on JPOX to persist and query those types.

The mission for the JPOX-Geotools-Plugin is to write some glue code, so JPOX-Spatial can work as a DataStore for GeoTools.
