Postgres Parameter Query for SimpleJdbcTemplate - spring

Question

I am trying to execute a parameter query for a Postgre database using Springs SimpleJdbcTemplate. My class that calls the query looks like this:
public class GeoCodeServiceImpl extends SimpleJdbcDaoSupport implements GeoCodeServiceInterface {
public static final String SELECT_STATEMENT = "SELECT ste_code, ste_code_type, name, fips_code " +
"FROM \"steGeo\" " +
"WHERE st_contains( the_geom, ST_GeomFromText('POINT(:lon :lat)',4269))";
public List<GeoCode> getGeoResults(Double lon, Double lat) throws DataAccessException {
MapSqlParameterSource mappedParms = new MapSqlParameterSource("lon", lon.toString());
mappedParms.addValue("lat", lat.toString());
SqlParameterSource namedParms = mappedParms;
List<GeoCode> resultList = getSimpleJdbcTemplate().query(SELECT_STATEMENT, new GeoCodeRowMapper(), namedParms);
if (resultList == null || resultList.size() == 0) {
logger.warn("No record found in GeoCode lookup.");
}
return resultList;
}
protected static final class GeoCodeRowMapper implements RowMapper<GeoCode> {
public GeoCode mapRow(ResultSet rs, int i) throws SQLException {
GeoCode gc = new GeoCode();
gc.setCode(rs.getString(1));
gc.setType(rs.getString(2));
gc.setFips(rs.getString(3));
gc.setName(rs.getString(4));
return gc;
}
}
}
I am testing the query with this class:
public class GeoCodeServiceTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Double lat = 40.77599;
Double lon = -83.82322;
String[] cntxs = {"project-datasource-test.xml","locationService-context.xml"};
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(cntxs);
GeoCodeServiceImpl impl = ctx.getBean("geoCodeService", GeoCodeServiceImpl.class);
List<GeoCode> geoCodes = impl.getGeoResults(lon, lat);
System.out.println(geoCodes);
}
}
I keep getting the following error:
2011-03-07 08:16:29,227 [main] DEBUG org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLErrorCodesFactory - SQL error codes for 'PostgreSQL' found
2011-03-07 08:16:29,227 [main] DEBUG org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator - Unable to translate SQLException with SQL state 'XX000', error code '0, will now try the fallback translator
2011-03-07 08:16:29,227 [main] DEBUG org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator - Extracted SQL state class 'XX' from value 'XX000'
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.jdbc.UncategorizedSQLException: PreparedStatementCallback; uncategorized SQLException for SQL [SELECT ste_code, ste_code_type, name, fips_code FROM "steGeo" WHERE st_contains( the_geom, ST_GeomFromText('POINT(:lon :lat)',4269))]; SQL state [XX000]; error code [0]; ERROR: parse error - invalid geometry
Hint: "POINT(" <-- parse error at position 6 within geometry; nested exception is org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: parse error - invalid geometry
Hint: "POINT(" <-- parse error at position 6 within geometry
It looks like my parameters are not populated.
I haven't used Postgre before so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Parameters are not handled inside quoted strings, so I guess you need to pass the whole string as a single parameter:
public static final String SELECT_STATEMENT =
"SELECT ste_code, ste_code_type, name, fips_code " +
"FROM \"steGeo\" " +
"WHERE st_contains( the_geom, ST_GeomFromText(:pt, 4269))";
...
MapSqlParameterSource mappedParms = new MapSqlParameterSource("pt",
"POINT(" + lon.toString() + " " + lat.toString() + ")");
