I'm trying to use a WFS layer as a template to create a shapefile with
no features, and add that file as a map layer.
That shapefile would later be used for storing features from the very
same WFS source.
The problem I'm facing is that the shapefile is only created on disk
when adding features, not when doing createSchema() to the associated
DataStore.
I've tried the following. In this example, layer is a WFS layer, of type
ILayer.
FileDataStoreFactorySpi factory = new
IndexedShapefileDataStoreFactory();
File file = new File("c:/test.shp");
HashMap<String, URL> map = new HashMap<String, URL>();
map.put(IndexedShapefileDataStoreFactory.URLP.key, file.toURL());
DataStore myData = factory.createNewDataStore(map);
FeatureSource featureSource = layer.getResource(FeatureSource.class,
monitor);
FeatureType ft = featureSource.getSchema();
myData.createSchema(ft);
FeatureStore store = (FeatureStore) ((ShapefileDataStore) myData)
.getFeatureSource(); /* Return to caller, used later */
After this, when I start adding features to store, then the shapefile
gets created.
That is contrary to what happens with the example at "Creating a new
Shapefile" at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Shapefile+Plugin
, where after executing myData.createSchema( featureType ), SHP appears.
Is it the WFS featuresource that makes a difference here? Or am I
overlooking something?
TIA,
Janne
