---------------------------------------
Summary: Need a public way to get connection to "SpatialMetadata" database
Key: SIS-395
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-395
Project: Spatial Information Systems
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Metadata, Referencing
Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5
Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
Fix For: 1.0
There is currently no public API for getting the {{javax.sql.DataSource}} instance for Apache
SIS {{SpatialMetadata}} database. There is {{Initializer.getDataSource()}} method in the {{org.apache.sis.internal.metadata.sql}}
but this is non-public API, subject to change in any future SIS version and will not be accessible
in Java 9 (unless the restriction is bypassed by Java options on the command-line).
A standard way to provide {{DataSource}} in Java is with _Java Naming and Directory Interface_
(JNDI). However there is no JNDI environment by default in standard Java installation; JNDI
are rather provided by containers like Tomcat. We could provide our own micro-JNDI when no
environment is installed, but it may be disruptive as installing our own JNDI environment
would have a JVM-wide impact.
