Bah this silly email program sends messages when I give up and close an email.

Can I assume that scale is an attribute you are trying to access? I am having a 
hard time answering your questions; as working with fields of different types 
works well with GeoTools shapefile support.

You should be calling feature.getAttribute("scale") to access a field called 
scale; the result will be a number if that is what it is saved as.

Examples of working with feature content here:
