[Freegis-list] Shape File Reader

[Shankar Narayanan.K , STC Chennai]

Hi,
    We are in need of reading the contents of ".shp" file.And we are using
java for this.The problem is the .shp file is having a variable "byte
order".For some record contents the byte order is "big endian" and for some
it is "little endian".I can read the big endian types but not the little
endian ones.I am getting wrong values that dont match with the file
specifications.Can anybody out there help me on deciding which file reader
class I should use in java to read all the .shp file contents.Thanks in
advance.

Regards,
Shankar
