[udig-devel] Datastores & co

[Andrea Antonello]

I have a problem with the thousand levels of abstraction for feature
data.

After running up and down the line, I decided that DataStore could be a
good interface to use to get a whole pile of data types from which to
get features.

But right after that thought, I noticed that:
DataStore tmpStore = tmpLayer.getResource(DataStore.class, null);

does return null for the first thing I tried, i.e. the
ShapefileDataStore. This happens because it doesn't resolve to it.

So I don't understand if I got the thing wrong and if yes, what should
I take to be able to define an item that deals with most possible
features types? This should apply from the layers but also from the
catalog resources.


Thanks,
Andrea
