So is there a reason that Geotools only supports Multi* shapefiles? Is that all that Geoserver uses? Is there a plan in place for a later version to support more geometry types from GML? The GML/Shapefiles that we get from Geoserver all seem to convert to local shape files without issues, so I'm assuming that at least with our data we only receive Multi* geometry types. The data from Minnisota Map Server however seems to use mostly MultiGeometries and other geometry types.
