I have tried a number of things, trying to simplify to get the simplest
case to work:
The simplest thing I tried was to read in the dbfModel from an
esriLayer and then just write it out again.
--------
DbfTableModel dbfModel = esriLayer.getModel();
dbfModel.setWritable(true);
DbfOutputStream dbfOut = new DbfOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream(newDatasourceNoSHPNoDot + ".dbf"));
dbfOut.writeModel(dbfModel);
dbfOut.writeRecords(dbfModel);
dbfOut.close();
--------
my larger intention, and what I had originally tried, is to get a
dbfModel, modify it, and the write it to either the original, or a new
location. I am modifying the dbf file one record (row) at a time.
that is I have objects which each have a couple of pieces of data (from
some columns in the dbf) from one record. I am modifying each record.
I set the values in each of these objects from the dbf file, setting
these values into the object's field (using a set method based on the
column name). I have checked the data, and the objects were in fact
set with the data values. Furthermore, and this is where things seemed
to get strange for me, I tested the value that the record should have
been setting into the dbfModel, and it seemed correct. That is, I
called the appropriate method in the object to get the value that was
to be set in the dbfModel (dbfModel.setValueAt(...)) then I called
dbfModel.getValueAt(..) -- and I got what appeared to be the correct
value. But still, when I wrote the values out, I got zeros.
One thing which might shed some light, or at least appeared strange to
me (but this may be how things are supposed to work) : The values in
the dbf file appears as what would make sense to be integeres
(4,5,6,etc). But the values that I get back from the dbf model are
double (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, etc.0). I don't know if this affects anything.
Thanks a lot for your help (and on a holiday no less).
