Filter functions + geometry transformations would be the right fit for your
case, unfortunately we
don't have one to reverse a linestring, but it can be built.
See in GeoTools, library/main, the list of existing functions, and in
META-INF of the same
module, the registration that makes them pluggable: this should give you
enough to implement
yours if you want to, doing the actual reverse is a matter of calling the
"reverse" method
on the linestring/multilinestring
