Humm. It appears I left a nice bug that I have to correct immediately. 
Shapefile are no more returning features (!!!).
Sorry.

Hello,

    I committed a change that links more the Shapefile files to the DBase file. 

    The Shapefile class could disappear. The way to read Features from a 
shapefile is now : 

    InputFeatureStream is = new InputFeatureStream(shapeFile, databaseFile);  
// Shapefile (.shp) and Database (.dbf) files.
    Feature feature = is.readFeature(); // null is returned when the end of the 
shapefile / database are reached.

    Inside the map of the Feature, the objects values have now the SQL type 
associated to their type : Date, Integer, Double, Float or String.

    I expect it works. Regarding to the test units available it doesn’t cause 
troubles, but... these tests are not checking deeply the problems that can 
exist.
    1) What control can I do on values red on shapefile (not the database part, 
but the shapefile part) to ensure that I am not reading stupid things ?
    2) Can we guess Shapefile entry #4 = Record #4 in the Database ? BTW, I 
will add a new constructor to InputFeatureStream that will have an SQL request 
of the form “SELECT * FROM <database> WHERE <single condition>“ to limit 
Feature to a database condition.
    3) Deleted records are still not taken into account in Database. If they 
came, the record should be skept (but isn’t yet). I hope that when this happens 
there is no Shapefile entry associated to this deleted record.

    4) Shall I put all the exceptions in a public package instead of their 
internal package ? I think it would be better.

Regards,

Marc Le Bihan
