Description:
Interactive Geocoding / Within Distance Query Demo

This program demonstates the process of geocoding an address, and query against a spatial table. It is assumed that the user has installed under the user herman/vampire the table nh_computer_stores, geocoded the table, and created a spatial index on the location column. (For details, see demos/geocoder/*.sql files for step by step instruction to setting this table up.) Make sure the Locator2.jar file is in your CLASSPATH. It has UI component classes.

A user can type in an address in NH, for example, 1 oracle dr., Nashua, NH. The program will geocode this address. If it's a valid address, and if the user enters a distance search parameter in miles, the program will use the locator within distance operator to find the closest computer stores in NH around the address specified.
