[Geotools-gt2-users] Datastore and ShapefileData Store

[fx5900 <luo...@ho...>]

Hi,

    in the 09Shapelab tutorial there is a line of code ShapefileDataStore
shapefile = new
    ShapefileDataStore(file.toURL());. When i'm adding this i get an error
saying cannot find symbol ...... symbol constructor ShapeFileDataStore
ect... I did some research and found the api 
http://udig.refractions.net/files/docs/api-geotools/org/geotools/data/shapefile/ShapefileDataStore.html#ShapefileDataStore(java.net.URL)

and when looking at the api for the constructor it says

url - The URL of the shp file to use for this DataSource.

I also read on the user guid about data stores and i says that it has an
implementation of ShapefilDataStore however in the code it does not use this
it uses, 

DataStore dataStore = DataStoreFinder.getDataStore(map );

does this mean i can't use the ShapefileDataStore?? but instead i must use
DataStore?

i ended up changing my code to this:

  File file = new File("C:/Cavendish map/datamap_01_data.shp");
  Map map = new HashMap();
         map.put("url", file.toURI());
         
DataStore myDataStore = DataStoreFinder.getDataStore(map);

Chheers
