what "anti-java" sentiment? or anti-anything? the OP asked about geoserver _AND_ about spatial queries. maybe i didnt understand why the question was posed, but come on, if someone is (as he said) "working on an algorithm that will test whether a point falls into various polygons"--well, that could be the poster-child use-case for postGIS. others who happened to be in close proximity to different parts of the elephant made their suggestions. if that's a bad thing, let's just get all orwellian and shoot the elephant. ok, that's taking the analogy too far.

Let's see - by using the logic of this list so far I would say the response to Paul's elephant questions is: An elephant seems a but heavyweight for an animal, let me tell you about this great goldfish I have. Sheesh - the original post asked the person about geoserver and people's experience with it. I was stoked and wanted to hear more about that. Instead all I got was a whole bunch of people suggesting other goespatial libraries without any real understanding of why the person was asking. Between Steve Jobs and the geowanking list I am getting pretty peeved about the whole anti-java sentiment.

Hi all, I'm working on an algorithm that will test whether a point falls into various polygons defined by ~30 different shape files with various projections. I've started digging into GeoServer, which seems to have no problems loading the majority of the shapefiles. In your experience is GeoServer a good fit for this kind of query? Also, what is your favorite query mechanism (something that supports reprojection would be nice since I'm pulling a lat/long off of a google map and testing it against several different projections) Thanks for your input! _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
