A spatial engine provides access to a service that can perform spatial operations, one of the available spatial engines is for a directory of Shapefiles.

The shapefile directory spatial engine will use sub-directories to give the shapefiles kind of schema. For example if the URL parameter points to a directory that contains a single shape file called RIVERS then the shapefile will be registered under the name RIVERS, but if the URL parameter points to a directory that contains another directory called WATER and under that directory there is a shapefile called RIVERS then the shapefile will be registered as WATER.RIVERS.
