Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Retrieving attribute names from shape files

[Thorsten K. <Tho...@pt...>]

When I debug my application, I can see the attribute names but I don't =
know how to get them because it seems that there are no getter-methods =
and the fields are not public.
The debugger tells me that the attribute names are nested like this:
=20
(reader =3D FIDFeatureReader)
reader->attributeReader->metaData[0]->name
=20
Do you know how I can get access to this name?

files



Hello,=20

I am able to get the type of an attribute of a shape file. So it is =
possible to detect if the attribute is a geometric type, a text type or =
a numeric type.

Can you tell me how I can detect the name of an attribute, for example a =
column which is named 'id'?=20
