convert shapefile to other format

[nvluyen]

Hi all,

I would like to read the data from a shapefile and convert it to other format. Here is my code:


int ii = 0;
        Iterator iterator = collection.iterator();
        try {
             while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                 Feature feature = (Feature) iterator.next();
                 System.out.print(feature.getID() + "\t");
                 Fileout.print(ii + " - " + feature.getID() + "\t");
                 ii++;
                 for (int i = 0; i < feature.getNumberOfAttributes(); i++) {
                        Object attribute = feature.getAttribute(i);
                        if (!(attribute instanceof Geometry)){
                            System.out.print(attribute + "\t");
                            Fileout.print(attribute + "\t");
                        }
                        else System.out.print("Geometry \t");
                    }
                    System.out.println();
                    Fileout.println();
             }
        } finally {
             collection.close(iterator);
             Fileout.close();
         }



And the output of the code above has the format:

gt_bd    MULTIPOLYGON (((105.82566795385466 21.036750413334275, ……………………)))     0.0    0.0010         2    §­êng    Ng• 4 Hïng V­¬ng - TrÇn Phó         §­êng         0.0    0.0    0    0.0    0.0    5              true



But I am interested only in the point value (((105.82566795385466 21.036750413334275, ……………………))) which can obtain by the code: Object attribute = feature.getAttribute(i); The Object is very general. Can I use other object that I can obtain the data separably, for example:

pointAttribute = feature.getAttribute(i).getPoint(); // get the points only
otherAttribute = feature.getAttribute(i).getName(); // get other attributes
……………………………….



Thanks,
