There is no any other exception. In Eclipse: public class GISTest { public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
com.bbn.openmap.dataAccess.shape.DbfTableModel dbfTable = com.bbn.openmap.dataAccess.shape.DbfFile.getDbfTableModel("d:\\cntry02.dbf");
System.out.println(dbfTable.getRowCount());
dbfTable.getColumnCount();
dbfTable.getRecords();
}} Console output:251
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.bbn.openmap.dataAccess.shape.DbfTableModel.getRecords(DbfTableModel.java:353)
at GISTest.main(GISTest.java:16)
cntry02.dbf is provided by OpenMap Demo. By the way, the GIS module I mentioned in the first post was developed in Year 2008-2009. There is no com.bbn.openmap.dataAccess.shape.DbfFile. How can I access dbf file in that verson of OpenMap? Thanks!

Each OMGraphic should have a index stored under the com.bbn.openmap.dataAccess.shape.ShapeConstants.SHAPE_INDEX_ATTRIBUTE key. That will tell you the index of the shape from the shape file. The table holding the attributes is stored in the top level list attributes, under the DBF_ATTRIBUTE key. Asking the top level list for the DBF_ATTRIBUTE will get you the DbfTableModel, which holds all the attributes. You can ask it for column information, and for values at particular indexes (which you retrieve from the OMGraphic).

My work is based on a software having a GIS module based on OpenMap. Using that software's API, I can get the com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.areas.AreaShapeLayer instance. Then by areaShapeLayer.getAreas().getGraphics().getOMGraphicAt(i), I can access to each OMGraphic, such as OMPoly and OMPoint. But oMGraphic.getAttributes() returns null, which I expected to get the Key-Value Map info. My sample data is OpenStreetMap data from http://metro.teczno.com/, and I convert it to shp and dbf files by Quantum GIS with OpenStreetMap plugin. In both OpenStreetMap and Quantum, I can read place info, such as ABC school or XYZ hospital. In my software with OpenMap module, I can also see the signs of places, like OMPoint? But I ! need to know how to retrieve these info, like names by Op! enMap API. Please Help!
