Estamos construindo um serviço para fazer o upload de arquivos zip contendo um arquivo de forma ESRI. O serviço deve ser capaz de ler o shapefile e fazer coisas com seu conteúdo. Então eu construí uma classe que descompacta o arquivo zip para a pasta temporária (subpasta de System.getProperty ("java.io.tmpdir")).

Outra classe chama o método unzip da classe Unzip e então tenta ler o shapefile descompactado usando Geotools. Ele usa o método Geotools DataStoreFinder.getDataStore (Map params) para criar um datastore a partir do shapefile descompactado. Aqui, o problema ocorre: o método getDataStore retorna nulo. Eu testei o URL, parece tudo bem. O arquivo do qual o URL deriva existe, é um arquivo e pode ser lido pelo aplicativo (testado usando shapefile.exists (), shapefile.isFile (), shapefile.canRead ()). Então, o que poderia estar errado? Por que recebo nulo retornado?

Aqui está o código (relevante):
