public class JGeoRaster
extends java.lang.Object

JGeoRaster is a Java class mapped to the Oracle Spatial GeoRaster SQL type MDSYS.SDO_GEORASTER, and it provides the capability to access, manipulate, and visualize the GeoRaster objects stored in an Oracle Spatial database.

Two constructors are defined in the class to allow users to initiate an instance based on different parameters:

         public JGeoRaster(STRUCT georaster) throws Exception

         public JGeoRaster(Connection conn, String rasterDataTable, NUMBER rasterID) throws GeoRasterException

Here is sample code showing how to use these two constructors:

      /// reading a GeoRaster object from database based on a query
      ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT a.georaster FROM georaster_table a where a.georaster.rasterdatatable='RDT' and a.georaster.rasterid=1");
      STRUCT geor = (STRUCT) rs.getObject(1);
      //convert STRUCT into JGeoRaster
      JGeoRaster j_geor = new JGeoRaster(geor);
      or 
      /// reading a GeoRaster object from database based on connection,RDT and rid.
      JGeoRaster j_geor = new JGeoRaster(conn,rasterDataTable,rasterID);

When a constructor is invoked to initiate a JGeoRaster object, the following tasks will be done in the init process:

 
      * Validate connection, rdt, and rid, and make sure they identify a valid GeoRaster object in the target database.
      * Fetch rasterType, spatialExtent, and schema/table/column name of the target Georaster object to 
        initiate attributes of JGeoRaster object. 
      * Fetch metadata XML string of the target Georaster object to initiate the contained JGeoRasterMeta object,
        for JGeoRasterMeta initiation, check class JGeoRasterMeta.
        Note:If current GeoRaster object is an empty GeoRaster object(created by function init()), then the   
        following xml string will be used to initiate JGeoRasterMeta:
        "&lt?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'&gt&lt?georasterMetadata xmlns=\"http://xmlns.oracle.com/spatial/georaster\"/&gt"

After a JGeoRaster is successfully initialized, the JGeoRaster object is associated with the corresponding GeoRaster object in the target database through RDT and rid, and it is also working as a root access point of all GeoRaster Java API operations, from which users can deal with different tasks, like:

      * Retrieving and updating metadata
      * Retrieving and updating raster data
      * Visualizing GeoRaster objects
      * Accessing the server-side PL/SQL API through JDBC

To get other GeoRaster Java objects from a JGeoRaster object:

      //get an instance of JGeoRasterMeta to deal with metadata
      public JGeoRasterMeta getMetadataObject()

      //get an instance of JRaster to deal with raster data
      public JRaster getRasterObject()
   
      //get an instance of GeoRasterImage to deal with visualization
      public GeoRasterImage getGeoRasterImageObject()
   
      //get an instance of SdoGeorPKG to access PL/SQL APIs in the package SOD_GEOR through JDBC
      public SdoGeorPKG getSdoGeorPKG()

Note that this class may not be synchronized with server-side changes.If one thread is reading this GeoRaster object and another is modifying it (such as changing its metadata), there may be inconsistencies. It is not synchronized with any raster data or metadata update through the SdoGeorPKG in the same thread either. In other words, the changes made by any other parties other than by the current JGeoRaster instance and its associated metadata and raster objects are not reflected in the current JGeoRaster instance.
