| Re: Problem with reusing a featuretype (was: Re: [udig-devel] two questions about using shapefiles for uncommon things) |
HI. If it's the intention that one cannot reuse a featuretype in the way I tried, then it's ok. I just thought that a featuretype is nothing more than a pattern for features and a ressource a container for features of a certain type. 1:n relation instead of 1:1.
@adrian: Yes I can save the first ressource, perhaps it's the best way.
Thank you!

What I was trying to say is that you can't have the same resource
twice in the same datastore, if you change the name it is no longer
the same so you can change the name of the resource.
