Description
gvSIG fails to load the attached SHP layer. I attach the log.
Qgis correctly loads the same layer. The character encoding of the DBF is latin1 (iso-8859-1).

Hi Cesar,
the issue is caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Name descriptor Area duplicated.
This is part of the output of ogrinfo applied to CastLeon.shp:
OBJECTID: Integer (9.0) PERIMETER: Real (18.6) P20099_: Integer (9.0) P20099_ID: Integer (9.0 NOMBRE: String (85.0) SHAPE_LENG: Real (18.6) SHAPE_AREA: Real (18.6) PROV: String (2.0) COM: String (2.0) DPROV: String (4.0) PROVINCIA: Real (16.0) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6) Area: Real (13.6) Perimetro: Real (13.6)
... there are a lot of duplicated field names (Area and Perimetro).
Shapefiles with duplicate field names should not be accepted by a robust GIS application, but they should be managed in a more elegant way. For instance, gvSIG could warn the user about the presence of duplicated fields and suggest him to edit the alphanumerical data in a right way.

Same issue also in gvSIG 2.3 build 2413. Maybe a good strategy could be to skip the duplicated fields and warn the user at the same time.

- Status changed from New to Closed
Tested in 2438. A message appears:
"Duplicated field name 'Area'. Check 'Allow duplicated field names' in layer properties in add layer dialog. The layer will become read only"
And if you activate the check, the layer is loaded
