Hi All, I have to do a search by attribute into a large shapefile. So I need a feature like attribute index, but I know that at the moment Geotools doesn't support attribute indexes for shapefiles. So I'm trying to find a way to use a FidFilter.
First of all, what is build a Fid index for shapefiles like? I have read the source code and it appears that Fid is always the position of the record in the attributes (.dbf) file. Is this correct? If not, is there a way to tell Geotools which attribute should be used as Feature ID? Otherwise, can I assume that Fid is always the position of the record into dbf file and use another file to map attributes into corresponding Fid. Thank you for the attention.
