Improper handling of duplicate columns in the ESRI shapefile reader
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-3554
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3554
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: data shapefile
    Affects Versions: 2.7.0
            Reporter: S Anwar
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
         Attachments: gt-2.7.x-shapefile.patch.txt

The ShapefileAttributeReader does not properly resolve field names to their indices for duplicate fields. Duplicate fields get the value of geometry due to the fall-through case in the ShapefileAttributeReader.

The ShapefileDataStore does assigns the duplicate field a new name, but knowledge of the original field name or the duplicate instance number are not preserved. As a result when the ShapefileAttributeReader tries to resolve field names to their indices, it cannot find the field. 

The included patch is against branches/2.7.x.
