Oh i see, how silly of me, apologise, it's making more sense. I got confused when i was reading about the different datastores, it tripped me over if u will.
I added the new ShapefileDataStore(file.toURI()) section, but when selectting the toURI i get an error of a cannot find symbol message. I also noticed that URL is deprecated which i understand programmers should avoid using. Although, when i do add this, i get a line going through the words of toURL Yes, i have also added the shapefile plugin on my pom.xml Michael Bedward wrote: > > I'm not sure what the question is... > > DataStore is the interface that declares methods that must be > implemented by the various kinds of data stores in Geotools > (ShapefileDataStore, PostgisDataStore, MemoryDataStore etc. etc.). > > See: http://javadoc.geotools.fr/snapshot/org/geotools/data/DataStore.html > > So if you only need to use the methods that are common to all data > stores you can do this... > > DataStore myStore = new ShapefileDataStore( url ); > > Then later on if you are working with some other sort of data store > you can change that one line, e.g. > > DataStore myStore = new PostgisDataStore(url); > > ...and the rest of your code stays the same. > >> ShapefileDataStore(file.toURL());.
