Re: [thredds] Adding custom services to TDS

Hi again,

No worries - we'll get this working. The thredds.war I've used
successfully can be found here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75575742/thredds.war

I'm using the tomcat 7 binary distribution (core) from
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi (version 4.0.47)

Java 1.7.0_05-b06 from Oracle (as installed by OSX - nothing special
done here)

I also have my JAVA_HOME environmental variable set to

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home

I've tried to document the steps I used to build and deploy this war
file. I started with a clean install of tomcat, as extracted from the
zip file I downloaded from their site. Note that I am using the latest
from git, and I am using MVN as well, so I think we are using the same
build tools. I've tried to detail everything in case other users are
following along (i.e. I know you understand how to start tomcat :-) )

#
# get the git repository and checkout the target-4.4.0 branch
#
git clone --origin unidata https://github.com/Unidata/thredds.git
git checkout -b target-4.4.0 unidata/target-4.4.0

(commit number c497d6eb6727ba66713e1910d1d035f4732fbcea, which is the
latest as of 11 am MST)

#
# clean out any previous build cruft (if any) and build the thredds war
# file
#
mvn clean package


#
# put the war file in the webapps directory
#
move $GITREPO/tds/target/thredds.war to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps

#
# Prepare the basic tomcat settings
#
create, if needed, $CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh, and add the following
and change accordingly:

=====

export
JAVA_OPTS=-Dtds.content.root.path=/Users/lesserwhirls/.unidata/content

export CATALINA_HOME=/Users/lesserwhirls/dev/unidata/java/apache-tomcat-7

export TOMCAT_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME

=====

make sure the following files are executable in $CATALINA_HOME/bin :

startup.sh
shutdown.sh
catalina.sh
setenv.sh

#
# Initialize the basic thredds config files and example catalogs by
# copying them from the tds src tree. Note that these used to
# automagically appear in $CATALINA_BASE/content/thredds
#
Copy the contents of
$GITREPO/tds/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/altContent/startup to
tds.content.root.path/thredds, as specified in setenv.sh. Note that you
need to add the thredds/ directory under tds.content.root.path. For
example, using my tds.content.root.path from above, I would need to put
the files from $GITREPO/tds/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/altContent/startup
in /Users/lesserwhirls/.unidata/content/thredds

#
# start up tomcat, cross your fingers, and check logs
#
Start up tomcat (running $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh).

Check your logs for errors ($CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out,
tds.content.root.path/thredds/logs/serverStartup.log, catalogInit.log,
threddsServlet.log, etc.), try to access tomcat through your browser
(localhost:8080), and then try to access thredds (localhost:8080/thredds)

Hopefully between my war file and/or these build instructions, we can
get you up and running with 4.4.0.

Cheers!

Sean
