Hello All,

 

I was hoping someone out there had some experience implementing the
ThreddsDatasetChooser component and would be willing to help me out a
bit.  I've made a very simple test class to get the
ThreddsDatasetChooser up and running.  The class is at the end of this
email.  I'm able to display the dialog without much trouble, but I am
unable to make it connect to a catalog.  When I enter a catalog URL into
the combobox and click "Connect", a progress dialog comes up after a few
seconds and tells me that it's "opening the catalog"...but after about
20 seconds or so, the dialog goes away and nothing else happens.  I also
get the following exception in the output pane of my IDE:

 

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NullPointerException

        at
thredds.catalog.ui.CatalogFactoryCancellable$OpenCatalogTask.run(Catalog
FactoryCancellable.java:158)

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613)

 

Can anyone help me out and let me know what I'm not doing or doing
wrong??

 

Thanks in advance,

Chris
