[Geotools-devel] Exceptions and (big progress on NIO shapefile)

[Ian S. <Ian...@ar...>]

Hi,

My new tests and refactoring of the dbf parser show a 2X speed up over
streaming solutions. Andrea, your tip about Strings was on the money.
Strings are a performance hazard in all programming languages and
instead of being twice as slow, now its twice as fast!

Anyway, I noticed that DataSourceException does not take advantage of
the new wrapped exception ability that appeared in jdk1.4.

I propose, if its not too much trouble, to make all geotools exceptions
use the wrapped facilities. It is always annoying (and this is why they
added it) to get these truncated stack traces (like SAXParser throws and
 RMIServer used to).
