[Geotools-gt2-users] Geocoding?

[Barrie T. <bae...@gm...>]

There is an old message on geotools-discussion titled:
geotools-Support Requests-775644 Geocode 2003-07-22 23:26 at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5599804 but no
responses.

I have found plenty of geocoders that interact via web services to the
free ones provided on the internet. For our needs I need to work in a
mobile environment where a network connection is not guaranteed and
need something that can geocode locally.

Are there plans to support local geocoding or does anyone have links
to existing projects that support this?

I have an address data file which could be geocoded but then I need a
way to query that file and I would prefer to reuse existing solutions
than rolling my own.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated
