Hello again...
I have another problem....
I need to load a shape file dataset that has a 1.1gig dbf. !
More than 80 % of the fields are junk or blank.
I was thinking about creating a filter on the DBF reader.
Something like
<shapefile>.selectFields=<field name1>{,<field name2> {...{, <field name
N>}}}
Extend DbfTableModel
getDbfTableModel()
public void setWritable(boolean set) { }
public boolean getWritable() { return false; }
commitEvents(...) {}
Extend DbfInputStream overriding
readHeader();
readFieldDescripters();
readData();
Now, we could ofcourse achieve the same by copying and modifying the table.
But given the size, the costs would be enormus.
Anyone see any issues with that ??
Also, I'm hoping to ad a label to the Shape Layer.
Issues anyone ??
Thanks
JR
