[Geotools-devel] DataUtilities.createType with comma in name

[Matthias L. <mat...@lo...>]

Hi all,

I've noticed that org.geotools.data.DataUtilities.createType() 
<https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/main/modules/library/main/src/main/java/org/geotools/data/DataUtilities.java#L1883> 
does not properly map attributed if the name of the descriptor contains 
a comma.

Example: Decoding "the_geom:Point,value,%:Double"
yields both "value:String" and "%:Double" attributes, instead of only 
"value,%:Double"

Is this behaviour intended for those featureType specs or is this a bug?

Not sure if using commas in attributed is generally discouraged, but 
matter of fact is we're getting customer SHP data with this.

I would like to add this as a bug and might also work myself on a PR 
soon, but this is my first one and I'm not familiar with the process. I 
could not register for the os-geo JIRA to create a ticket either - 
Atlassian informs me there are no licenses left.

Many thanks for your support and kind regards,
Matthias
