Interface ShapeWriterDelegate

All Known Implementing Classes:

ShapeWriter.DefaultDelegate, ShapeWriter.DefaultLineDelegate, ShapeWriter.DefaultPointDelegate, WriterHelper

public interface ShapeWriterDelegate

Defines feature type and feature attributes of a ShapeWriter. An instance of an implementing class may be passed to a ShapeWriter, which will then delegate any decisions about what type of features to create a Shapefile for and which attributes that Shapefile should have back to this instance.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
List	attributes(Geometry geometry) Returns an ordered list of the attributes of a particular feature to be added to the Shapefile.
SimpleFeatureType	featureType(GeometryDescriptor geometryDescriptor) Returns a definition of the feature type and the attributes to be written to the Shapefile.

featureType

SimpleFeatureType featureType(GeometryDescriptor geometryDescriptor)
                       throws SchemaException

Returns a definition of the feature type and the attributes to be written to the Shapefile.

Parameters:

Throws:

SchemaException

attributes

List attributes(Geometry geometry)

Returns an ordered list of the attributes of a particular feature to be added to the Shapefile. The list is expected to be in the same order as required by the featureType(org.opengis.feature.type.GeometryDescriptor) definition.

Parameters:

geometry - the feature the attributes of which to return
