Re: [udig-devel] Problem with shapefiles
Well I have verified that the file is not a completely valid shapefile.  In a shapefile each shp declares how many bytes for that shape.  In the case of Comuni_FVG it is wrong so the second shape it attempts to read is not capable of being read.  

I am not sure how GVSig is able to read it.  Perhaps GVSig uses the shx to find the offsets of each record rather than the offsets in the .shp file itself.  I could do that but I am more likely to do that for uDig 1.2 because it is a fair amount of work for a special case.  

I will next look at the DbPrior_0503_Strada_Amministrativa

and see why that is not being read.  I won't be surprised if there is a similar problem.

GVSig does just fine though :(.  Ok I guess I have to fix it :P.

I just viewed the data with QGis and it has the same problems.  I don't have arcview unfornately  so I haven't tested that...

I am getting an exception when I run a validation operation on it.  :

Dbf has extra record.

I wonder it is a problem with the DBF.

Hi all,
just to report some problems I found using different type of shapefiles:
1. multipoligon shapefiles are not correctly displayed, both in visualization and in the table view I can see just the first feature
2. 3D line shapefiles are displayed as the multipoligon... just the first line
