Hi Yvonne,

Are you trying to get uDig to interact with the geotools widget you 
wrote, or is this separate?  Based on your description, you probably 
want to set up a Web Feature Server (WFS) to indirectly edit your 
shapefile (there is code in geotools for this too).  Alternatively, you 
could use Geoserver to handle this -- as they've already done this...

Cory.
