EPSG database directory

[Michael Bedward]

Hi folks,

To work with the EPSG HSQL database in a directory other than the
default one the javadocs state that you can have the alternate
location stored as a system property.

In cases where I don't want to, or I can't, mess with the System
properties on a machine, is there some other way of specifying the
alternate location ?

cheers
Michael

There is no Hints provided for that at this time. Currently the only
alternatives are:

1) Uses System.setProperty(...)
2) Modifies the source code in your local copy.

In case of 2, you can edit the ThreadedHsqlEpsgFactory class, method
getTemporaryDirectory(). You may need to modify HsqlEpsgDatabase as well which
seems a partial copy of ThreadedHsqlEpsgFactory (this is yet part of the bazar I
need to clean).
