Exporting Shapefiles from featuretypes that
--------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2201
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2201
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: WFS
Affects Versions: 1.7.0-RC2, 1.6.4
Environment: Tested on multiple installations, but all windows-based.
Reporter: Björn Harrtell
Assignee: Andrea Aime
When requesting data with WFS and SHAPE-ZIP outputFormat from a featureType with heterogeneous (mixed-type) geometry types (but that should still be compatible with shapefiles) I get the following error when I try to get data including both polygon and multipolygons:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

org.geotools.data.DataSourceException: Cannot create a shapefile whose geometry type is class com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Geometry
Cannot create a shapefile whose geometry type is class com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Geometry
</ServiceException></ServiceExceptionReport>
With "should still be compatible with shapefiles" I mean mixed geometries like points and multipoints in the same collection (same for multilines and multipolygons respectively but *NOT* mixed as points and lines in the same layer, which I believe is according to shapefile spec.
This was discovered when trying to replace FME as a shapefile exporter from ArcSDE with geoserver and postgis as the converted ArcSDE data was mixed as in the case described, so if I'm mistaken about shapefiles allowing mixed at all then FME must be converting the features before exporting which is a nice workaround in my opinion.
