ShapefileDataStore not respecting useMemoryMappedBuffer flag
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-1748
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1748
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
         Environment: Windows XP
            Reporter: Enamul Haque


Observe the following piece of code:
{noformat}
ShapefileDataStore(someURL, false);
{noformat}

Despite the false flag, it'll continue using memory mapping because :

{noformat}
    protected boolean useMemoryMappedBuffer = true;

    public ShapefileDataStore(URL url,boolean useMemoryMappedBuffer) throws 
java.net.MalformedURLException {
        this(url, useMemoryMappedBuffer, DEFAULT_STRING_CHARSET);
    }
    
    public ShapefileDataStore(URL url,boolean useMemoryMappedBuffer, Charset 
dbfCharset) throws java.net.MalformedURLException {
        String filename = null;
        shpURL = ShapefileDataStoreFactory.toShpURL(url);
        dbfURL = ShapefileDataStoreFactory.toDbfURL(url);
        shxURL = ShapefileDataStoreFactory.toShxURL(url);
        prjURL = ShapefileDataStoreFactory.toPrjURL(url);
        xmlURL = ShapefileDataStoreFactory.toXmlURL(url);
        this.dbfCharset = dbfCharset; 
    }
{noformat}

As you can see, useMemoryMappedBuffer is set to true by default and is not 
touched by these constructors. useMemoryMappedBuffer is used by 
ShapefileRendererUtil:
{noformat}
    public static IndexedDbaseFileReader getDBFReader( ShapefileDataStore ds ) 
throws IOException {
        return new IndexedDbaseFileReader(ds.getReadChannel(ds.dbfURL), 
ds.useMemoryMappedBuffer, ds.getStringCharset());
    }
{noformat}

Sometimes you want to turn off memory mapping for huge files as geotools maps 
the whole file into memory and at times gets you OutOfMemory error if the file 
has a decent size.
