layeritems with java mapscript

[Nicol Hermann]

Hi List,

i would like to detect the names of the attribut fields with java
mapscript. I tried the code below but i alway get back zero fields.
What i am doing wrong?

Thanks for any help
Nicol


package msjava;
import edu.umn.gis.mapscript.*;

public class layeritems {
        public static void main(String[] args)  {
           System.loadLibrary("mapscript");

           mapObj map = new
mapObj("/home/nicol/public_html/mapserver/dev/brd.map");
           layerObj layer = map.getLayer(0);
           System.out.println("Count of fields from layer "
+layer.getName()
+ " : " + layer.getNumitems());
           for (int i =0; i < layer.getNumitems(); i++) {
                   System.out.println("Fieldname: " + layer.getItem(0));
           }
        }
}
