Hi Jeff,
The following code snippets should help...
Geometry geom = (Geometry) feature.getDefaultGeometry();
// this should always be true for a Geometry object from a shapefile
// (using the GeoTools Geometries enum
boolean isMulitPolygon = Geometries.get(geom) == Geometries.MULTIPOLYGON;
// need to allow for the possibility of multiple disjunct polygons
int numPolys = geom.getNumGeometries();
for (int ip = 0; ip < numPolys; ip++) {
Polygon p = (Polygon) geom.getGeometryN(ip);
// get the outer boundary like this
LineString boundary = p.getExteriorRing();
// check for holes
boolean hasHoles = p.getNumInteriorRing() > 0;
// if there are some holes, get the first one
if (hasHoles) {
LineString hole1 = p.getInteriorRingN(0);
}
}
Hope this helps.
Michael
