[Geotools-gt2-users] Saving FeatureSource to shapefile

[Gabriella T. <ga...@dv...>]

Hello, I am wondering if there is a simple way of saving a FeatureSource to a
shapefile. The FeatureSource is backed by an MStore. I can't quite see  
how to do this. I've gotten as far as this:

FeatureSource fs = mapLayer.getFeatureSource(); //pre-existing featursource
FileDataStoreFactorySpi factory = new IndexedShapefileDataStoreFactory();
Map map = Collections.singletonMap( "url", file.toURL());  //file from chooser
DataStore myData = factory.createNewDataStore( map );
myData.createSchema(fs.getSchema());

Thanx
gaby
