You can use 2 CoordinateFetchers: one set to "1" and one set to "-1".
That way, you can grab the coordinates of the first and last points of
the line. Then use 3DPointReplacers to create point objects. Since you
want both the beginning and the end of the line, you'll have to use
these in parallel.
Hope this helps.
