Are you aware of activities to improve Geotools from a hard-coded "simple features model" to the "ISO general feature model". The latter supports properties with complex types, relationships between feature types and multiple valued properties.I had a goal to implement datastore for Oracle Spatial based on GeoTools architecture and interfaces to be used for direct access to Oracle database from UDIG. GeoTools' standard implementation is very narrow and not appropriate for high customization - I mean customization for data model being used in particular project.
I would think you can model most objects with this, especially if we achieve the ultimate goal (IMHO) of being able to bind operations to feature types, and feature types inherit such behaviours from supertypes.
Is your need to gain direct access simply to bypass the simple features model? Or is it to allow injection of operations against features via SQL statements?
