Null save into Shapefile using GeoTools

Question

When I convert CSV to Shapefile in GeoTools, I have an error NULL store for first attribute in my shapefile. e.g. -

Want result:

POINT(3625.55 3659.25), 2.4, 3.9

Error result:

Null, 2.4, 3.9

This is my program:

public class Csv2ShapeNew {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        File file = getCSVFile(args);

        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
        List<SimpleFeature> features = new ArrayList<SimpleFeature>();

        SimpleFeatureCollection collection = null ;//= new ListFeatureCollection(TYPE, features);
        SimpleFeatureType TYPE = null;
        try {
            String line = reader.readLine();

            StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            stringBuilder.append("location:Point,");

            String[] headers = line.split("\\,");

            for (String header : headers) {
                stringBuilder.append(header).append(":String,");
            }
            //stringBuilder.append("location:Point,");

            TYPE = DataUtilities.createType("Location", stringBuilder.substring(0,stringBuilder.toString().length() - 1));
            //System.out.println(stringBuilder.toString());
            //System.out.println(TYPE);
            GeometryFactory factory = JTSFactoryFinder.getGeometryFactory(GeoTools.getDefaultHints());

            for (line = reader.readLine(); line != null; line = reader.readLine()) {
                String split[] = line.split("\\,");

                //String name = split[0];
                double latitude = Double.parseDouble(split[0]);
                double longitude = Double.parseDouble(split[1]);

                Object[] o = new Object[split.length+1];
                //o[0]="";
                o[0] = (factory.createPoint(new Coordinate(longitude, latitude)));
                    for (int i = 1; i < o.length; i++) {
                        o[i] = split[i-1];
                    }

               /* for (int i = 0; i < o.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println(o[i]);// = split[i-2];
                }*/


                    //o[1] = name;

                System.out.println(o[0]);
                SimpleFeature feature = SimpleFeatureBuilder.build(TYPE, o, "");
                features.add(feature);
                collection = new ListFeatureCollection(TYPE, features);
                System.out.println(features.get(0));

        } finally {

Answer 1

shapefile expects geometry column name only "the_geom". Replace line:

stringBuilder.append("location:Point,");

with:

stringBuilder.append("the_geom:Point,");
