ShapefileStreamProviderRegistry does ProjectionStream get used?

[mattfung]

Hello, Thanks for open sourcing this library.

I've been trying to open a shapefile in memory via ShapefileStreamProviderRegistry. The shapefile has .prj file, but the resultant ShapefileDataReader does not seem to have the CRS info present in the projection file. In fact, the Geometry field of the ShapefileDataReader instance is null (opening the shapefile using filepath also created a datareader with null geometry as well).

Browsing through the source code, I'm not able to find a place where ProjectionStream field of the StreamProviderRegistry is used, I'm wondering if the projection stream is read when opening the file?

Best,

[mattfung]

Test file:

issue_29_sample.shp.zip

When running the following:

var geomFactory = new GeometryFactory();
var shapeFileLocal = new ShapefileDataReader(SHP_PATH, geomFactory);

shapeFileLocal has a null geometry field. As well, the attribute has SRID=0.

ogrinfo of the shape file returns:

INFO: Open of `issue_29_sample.shp'
      using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

which shows projection information

Assistance will be appreciated.

I am seeing something similar. If I use a ShapeDataReader though I can get at the geometry but can't find anything about the projection. Did you solve this?

[mattfung]

@kjeremy Nope, I wasn't framework bound so ended up using python (fiona + geoalchemy)..
