Hi guys,

I'm trying do do a simple spatial query using PostGIS 1.1.2, Google Maps and EJB3... but it gets pretty frustrating :) Probably because I'm new to PostGIS.

I would like to get all the points of interest that are in a rectangular area (the visible map area for the user).

My POI are stored using a custom projection with the SRID 101 in my database. The map bounds are in latitude and longitude (I have 2 points : southWest and sorthEast).

First, I red postgis documentation (ยง3.3) and tried to perform a native query using a postgresql client :

select     poi_gid, astext(geometry) as geom
from     poi AS p
where      transform(
               GeomFromText(
                   'POLYGON((
                       48.88190472849405 2.3015928268432617,
                       48.88190472849405 2.3398303985595703,
                       48.86417836241082 2.3015928268432617,
                       48.86417836241082 2.3398303985595703,
                       48.88190472849405 2.3015928268432617))',
                   4326)
           , 101) && p.geometry
and Contains(p.geometry,
           transform(
               GeomFromText(
                   'POLYGON((
                       48.88190472849405 2.3015928268432617,
                       48.88190472849405 2.3398303985595703,
                       48.86417836241082 2.3015928268432617,
                       48.86417836241082 2.3398303985595703,
                       48.88190472849405 2.3015928268432617))',
                   4326)
, 101) );

I got no error but no result neither.

Then I tried the EJB3 way (but I don't really know how to use the spatial.XXX methods - is there any documentation about it?):

   public String localSearch(String what, double northEastLat,
           double northEastLng, double southWestLat, double southWestLng) {

// Get the projected coordinates - TODO: Use a nicer way, probably with the org.postgis.Point class String neStr = this.getProjectedPoint(northEastLat, northEastLng, 101);
       neStr = neStr.replace("POINT(", "").replace(")", "");
String swStr = this.getProjectedPoint(southWestLat, southWestLng, 101);
       swStr = swStr.replace("POINT(", "").replace(")", "");
double neX = Double.parseDouble(neStr.split(" ")[0]);
       double neY = Double.parseDouble(neStr.split(" ")[1]);
       double swX = Double.parseDouble(swStr.split(" ")[0]);
       double swY = Double.parseDouble(swStr.split(" ")[1]);
System.out.println(swStr);
       System.out.println(neX);
       System.out.println(neY);
// Query POI in the bounded area
       Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT p FROM POI p "
               + "WHERE         spatial.X(p.location)     >=:neX "
               + "AND             spatial.X(p.location)    <=:swX "
               + "AND             spatial.Y(p.location)    >=:swY "
               + "AND             spatial.Y(p.location)    <=:neY ");
       query.setParameter("neX", neX);
       query.setParameter("swX", swX);
       query.setParameter("swY", swY);
       query.setParameter("neY", neY);
       List<POI> poiResults = query.setMaxResults(20).getResultList();
       System.out.println("> " + poiResults.size());
       System.out.println(northEastLat + " " + southWestLng);
       System.out.println(northEastLat + " " + northEastLng);
       System.out.println(southWestLat + " " + southWestLng);
       System.out.println(southWestLat + " " + northEastLng);

       return "Hello";
   }
private String getProjectedPoint(double lat, double lng, int destProjId) {
       int srcProjId = 4326;
       String query = "select AsText(transform(GeomFromText('POINT("
           + lat + " " + lng + ")'," + srcProjId + ")," + destProjId
           + "))";
Query q = em.createNativeQuery(query);
       return (String) q.getSingleResult();
   }

I got no error but no result neither.

I know that this code could be significantly improved with more knowledge on the technologies (postgis and ejb3 spatial).
Could you give me some tips and guidelines to help me out ?

Best Regards

Romain
