Since field length and degrees of precision are all stored in the DBF
part of the shapefile, one approach is to use the low-level GeoTools
classes DbaseFileReader, and DbaseFileWriter to parse and update the
DBF file. Both of those classes make use of a utility class called
DbaseFileHeader with me
The good news is that our descriptors have a "user data" map; which we can use
to store any extra information from the header that you need (and pass it back
out to your program).

Hi Jody,
Sorry I didnt explain myself in a good way.
nono..Im not asking about how i can get a field value from a
shapefile..of course im not going to ask that with allthe geotools
documentation on the internet.
Lets say I have a field called 'field1' and it has 20 digits of
precision and 8 d
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.

Dear GeoTools users,
I am trying to read a shape file using geotools and everything is
working well.
I couldnt find out how to read the scale from a real field though.
For reading the precision I get the field restricctions and then I
parsed each element on the list (filter.toString()) looking
