Why this code how read a shapefile using geotools throws this exception?

Question

I'm reading attributes from a shapefile using geotools 10.1. I don't understand why throws an exception after print all features attribute.

This is the example code:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import org.geotools.data.DataStore;
import org.geotools.data.DataStoreFinder;
import org.geotools.data.FeatureSource;
import org.geotools.feature.FeatureCollection;
import org.geotools.feature.FeatureIterator;
import org.opengis.feature.simple.SimpleFeature;

public class LayerBusinessTest {


public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    File file = new File("../../setup/test/shp/sscc/SSCC2010_WGS84.shp");
    Map<String, Serializable> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put( "url", file.toURI().toURL() );

    DataStore dataStore = DataStoreFinder.getDataStore( map );
    String typeName = dataStore.getTypeNames()[0];

    FeatureSource source = dataStore.getFeatureSource( typeName );

    FeatureCollection collection =  source.getFeatures();
    FeatureIterator<SimpleFeature> results = collection.features();
    try {
        while (results.hasNext()) {
            SimpleFeature feature = (SimpleFeature) results.next();
            String code = feature.getAttribute("Codigo_SSC").toString();
            System.out.println( code );
        }
    } finally {
        results.close();
    }

}

}

Exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected requestor org.geotools.data.shapefile.dbf.DbaseFileReader@2ac9b619 to have locked the url but it does not hold the lock for the URL

I am receiving this same error. how do you resolve?` – Alidia

@sharif Read answer marked as correct. – Rawls

Answer 1

It's necessary execute dataStore.dispose(); before exit.

Rawls

to add, anytime I access a shapefile like this, I add a finally block to call dispose(), even if you're using Java 7+ try with resources. – Konstantine

It's interesting because I was using an old version (15.1) and this wasn't required. But when I switched to 20.0 I started getting the OP's error. Thanks angelcervera! – Galanti
