Re: [Geotools-devel] Textual Features

[James M. <jma...@gm...>]

FeatureTypeStylers can have a FeatureType for which they apply.  We
have primative support for feature type inheritance but it should be
possible to set all features returned from a VPF feature source as
VPFFeature.  More genericaly, you could define a TextFeature type that
could, in theory, be returned from any Data Store...

I'm afraid using Feature Types to drive styling is rather new
teritory, but it is a road we should be heading down.
