The format the data comes in is called "features"; part of a feature
is a geometry; the other part is attributes (like the data values
about the polygon).

The export to shapefile operation example shows how to put an
operation on a "FeatureSource"; you can use the feature source api to
retrieve a feature collection; and from there you can go through each
feature and place it in your database.

The ShapefileExport actually does this work; it creates a new
shapefile and copies the features into it. For more examples of
working with feature collections see the geotools wiki:
