Hi,I am looking into the Feature Collection element of THREDDS v4.2.7 (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/tds4.2/tutorial/FeatureCollectionsTutorial.html). I have downloaded the file catalogFmrc.xml, edited as necessary, and implemented a <catalogRef> element in catalog.xml.
However, I am running into difficulty with <collection spec=""/> syntax.
Quickly discovered that I had to use slash (/) in the pathname even though running on a Windows server as the standard Windows path seperator backslash (\) resulted in an error message being logged in catalogInit.log: readCatalog(): Exception on catalog=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0 THREDDS\content\thredds\catalogFmrc.xml String index out of range: -1 log=null catalog
correct. if you always use a "/" anywhere a file specification is needed in the TDS (and Java!), it always works.
Still have a problem, though, defining wildcard filenames so that the files get grouped together. If I specify a single file name, i.e <collection spec="C:/data/datasets/forecasts/DNMI-Nsea.2011-07-06.grb"/>, everything works: [2011-07-06T11:58:28.140+0100] INFO thredds.inventory.bdb.MetadataManager: MetadataManager: open bdb at root C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0 THREDDS\content\thredds/cache/collection/ readOnly = false [2011-07-06T11:58:28.153+0100] INFO thredds.inventory.bdb.MetadataManager: NMIFMRC #files deleted = 0 [2011-07-06T11:58:28.381+0100] INFO ucar.nc2.ft.fmrc.Fmrc: C:/data/datasets/forecasts/DNMI-Nsea.2011-07-06.grb: make new Dataset, new proto = false [2011-07-06T11:58:28.383+0100] INFO ucar.nc2.ft.fmrc.Fmrc: C:/data/datasets/forecasts/DNMI-Nsea.2011-07-06.grb: make new Dataset, new proto = false However, if I try using a wildcard substitute, i.e. <collection spec="C:/data/datasets/forecasts/DNMI-Nsea.2011-07-??.grb"/> or <collection spec="C:/data/datasets/forecasts/DNMI-Nsea.2011-07-*.grb"/>, it fails:
these are regular expressions, not wildcard syntax. I think you would need for those 2 examples:
C:/data/datasets/forecasts/DNMI-Nsea.2011-07-..\.grb$ C:/data/datasets/forecasts/DNMI-Nsea.2011-07-.*grb$The $ "end anchor" is important to exclude index files that sometimes are in the same directory.
