JMapframe displays only a single shapefile

Question

I used the Netbeans and GeoTools to program a graphical interface to display multiple shapefiles in the same JmapFrame. I used the following code but I do not know, when execute, it display only one shapefile.Svp, someone can help me, I await your answers.

ImportVecteur2(JMapFrame fenMap)

this.fenMap = fenMap;

if (file == null)
{
return;
}

FileDataStore store = FileDataStoreFinder.getDataStore(file);
FeatureSource featureSource = store.getFeatureSource();
//get vertices of file

         
   
    
// Create a map context and add our shapefile to it
mapContext = new DefaultMapContext();

        
mapContext.addLayer(featureSource, null);
// Now display the map
fenMap.enableLayerTable(true);
fenMap.setMapContext(mapContext);
fenMap.setVisible(true);
  }

Each time you call chercheAfficheVecteur you create a new MapContext so the previous one is thrown away and with it your previous shapefile. If you change the method to be

public void chercheAfficheVecteur() {
    try {
       File file = JFileDataStoreChooser.showOpenFile("shp", null);
       if (file == null)    {
        return;
       }

    FileDataStore store = FileDataStoreFinder.getDataStore(file);
    FeatureSource featureSource = store.getFeatureSource();
    //get vertices of file
    // Create a map context and add our shapefile to it
    if(mapContext == null){
        mapContext = new DefaultMapContext();
        fenMap.setMapContext(mapContext);
    }
      //make it look prettier
    Style style = SLD.createSimpleStyle(featureSource.getSchema());      
    mapContext.addLayer(featureSource, style);

}

and

ImportVecteur2(JMapFrame fenMap)
{
//this.mapContext = mapContext;
  this.fenMap = fenMap;
  fenMap.enableLayerTable(true);
  fenMap.setVisible(true);
}

It should work better.

After further testing (i.e. I actually compiled some code) - MapContext is deprecated (and has been for some time) please use MapContent.
