Description
Kris Nuttycomb has submitted a new GeometryConverter interface. They based it off of the oracle GeometryConverter, as they found it useful, but wanted the interface so they could do Informix Spatial stuff as well. It makes sense for us to have it as an interface. So we need to review the interface, and also the fixes for the oracle interface. This will open the way for an Informix implementation, which will make possible an Informix DataStore, which would be nice to have.
We do need to figure out where the interface should live, probably in main, perhaps in jdbc, perhaps even more central. One route worth investigating is to adapt it even more generically. I'm not quite sure what would be involved in that, but it seems like other current datastores might be able to use it as well.
I'm marking this as 2.1.M3, though the patch is written against 2.0.0. This reflects the fact that I don't have much time, and feel it's more important to get on the future geotools stuff, and we should be stable on 2.1 in two months. If anyone is interested in getting it on 2.0 then they can go for it.
