Thread: PostgreSQL 7.4.1 JDBC driver bug

PostgreSQL 7.4.1 JDBC driver bug

In the package

org.postgresql.geometric

the class PGcircle contains what I think is an "oversight".

For classes in this package fields are declared "public" allowing direct access.  This is true for all classes execept
PGcirclewhere the radius field is declared without a modifier.  This makes the class unusable from a java program
withoutmodification, as no accessor method is defined. 

The source code reads

public class PGcircle extends PGobject implements Serializable, Cloneable
{
 /*
  * This is the centre point
  */
 public PGpoint center;

 /*
  * This is the radius
  */
 double radius;


Hope you can fix this in a later release,

This has been fixed in both the stable and development cvs trees and will
be included with the next release.  Thanks for the report.
