hello there, i am looking at using the geotools library to implement a tool that reads polygon geometry data from a CSV file, and generate a corresponding shape file.
a cursory look at the documentation (both the javadoc, the features list and DataStore tutorial documents) and the classes in org.geotools.data.shapefile (and the corresponding test package) suggest that this is do-able. basically this tool will: a. read a source CSV file, either directly or through a concrete DataStore (a subclass of AbstractDataStore). b. create a new target shape file. c. iterate over the polygons (JTS MultiPolygon instances) and for each one write a corresponding feature in the target shape file. d. close the target shape file. has anybody done that sort of work before? if yes, have you encountered any constraints/limitations you would like to share? any specific documentation i should look at/read more closely before starting? TIA + cheers; rsn
