Reading data from shapefiles is supported by GeoTools. You need gt-shapefile (the shapefile plugin) and its dependencies. http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/data/datastore.html http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/data/shape.html
Your code should (see above examples): - create a map of parameters - use the map to find a DataStore - use the DataStore to get a FeatureSource and then a FeatureCollection - iterate over the features in the collection Each feature will have a geometry (a JTS Geometry object). You can get the Coordinate Reference System from the schema (FeatureType). The geometry type can be determined from the JTS Geometry or from the schema. Writing CSV is easy. I am sure you know how to do that. What sort of XML do you want to write? GeoTools has extensive support for encoding GML. Kind regards, Ben.
