Hallo List,
when I tested the GDAL I stumbled over the DataStores and here especially
the mentioned above. I was debugging through DataStoreConnectionPage
and DataStoreParameterPage and here is my resume:
right now the Shapefile DataStore and the Directory of Shapefiles DataStore
are broken because of the EXTENSION value coming from
geotools ShapefileDataStoreFactory right there is added the metadata
Param.EXT,"shp". Because the Wizard uses this extension to filter files in
FileDialog, nothing is shown up and the user cant choose a file. I changed
temp. the code and tested with
FileDialog browse = new FileDialog(parent.getShell(),
SWT.OPEN);
if (EXTENSION != null) {
String ext = "*." + EXTENSION.replace("*.",
"").replace(".", "");
browse.setFilterExtensions(new String[]{ext});
}
instead of the origin code fragment:
if (EXTENSION != null) {
browse.setFilterExtensions(new String[]{EXTENSION});
}
and then the Shapefile DataStore works fine. BUT the Directory DataStore
does more or less and has a behavior the user doesn't expects: the user has
to choose a file instead of a directory, that contains files.
I'm wondering whether this feature worked correctly in the past. I guess
its implicit a new feature since ShapefileDirectoryFactory was created in
geotools.
Could anybody confirm, that this could be an issue. If so, whats the best
way to solve this - ignore ShapefileDirectoryFactory explicit in udig or
change the generic code to handle this Store in a specific way (means
DirectoryDialog instead of FileDialog)? Are there other Stores with a
identical behavior?
Cheers,
-Frank
