Re: Another java connect problem

Hi!

I just got it working. Well at least past that problem. Now I have a new one. :-)
It was solved by correcting the java command. Apparantly it gives this error
if you put you .class file before the options.

Postgis is a GIS(Geographic information System) extension to Postgresql.
Check out http://www.postgis.org/.

Thanks, Espen(using a new e-mail address at the moment)
