Can you guarantee that there is only at most one point per line?  
If not, what do you want to do in the case where multiple points touch a line?
 
My recommended strategy would be to use a NeighbourFinder.  The choice is yours 
on how to implement this.  You could either directly use the NeighbourFinder 
directly on the lines as Base specifying the points as Candidates, or you could 
do it the other way around and use a FeatureMerger to join the points' 
attributes back onto the lines after exposing the first close candidate list 
member.  I haven't tested, but the latter is potentially more efficient.

Subject: [fme] Merge Point Attributes with Line



I need to merge the attributes of a point to the line that the point
lies on.

I have used the PointOnLineOverlay but it breaks the lines where the
point was located which I can not have.

Is there another function to use that gives similar results as the
PointOnLineOverlay WITHOUT breaking the line at the point?

Thanks.
Brian
