[Geotools-gt2-users] Reading SHP from a stream

[Víctor G. <vic...@ge...>]

Hi,

I would like to read a SHP from an input stream.

I've seen that ShapefileReader only accepts ShpFiles in the constructor and
then only uses ShpFiles.getReadChannel from the passed object.

I've also noticed that the javadoc is misleading:
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/master/modules/plugin/shapefile/src/main/java/org/geotools/data/shapefile/shp/ShapefileReader.java#L51

Is there a way to read a shapefile without having to write it to a temp
file? If not, would you consider adding a constructor that accepts the
channels instead of ShpFiles?

Thanks in advance.
