Yes. This is a comment from the source
(src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/Field.java):
"This table holds the org.postgresql names for the types
supported. Any types that map to Types.OTHER (eg POINT) don't go
into this table. They default automatically to Types.OTHER"

>(e.g. 1111 and 1112)?
Have you seen this documentation already?
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.1/programmer/jdbc-ext.html
("8.6.2. Geometric Data Types").
I haven't used this feature myself, so I'm not sure if the
documentation is of any help regarding your problem.
