[Geotools-gt2-users] howto read only shapefile (without dbf)

[Jan G. <gre...@gm...>]

hello,

 I'm using following code to get features from shapefile. Problem is
that that it depends on dbf file and I don't want to depend on bad dbf
file. Last case is two columns (in dbf) with same name, following code
generates java.lang.IllegalArgumentException ...

thanks, Jan

            URL shapeURL = new java.io.File(shpFile).toURL();
            ShapefileDataStore store = new
ShapefileDataStore(shapeURL);

            String name = store.getTypeNames()[0];
            FeatureSource source = store.getFeatureSource(name);

            fsShapes = source.getFeatures();
