Re: [thredds] Accessing THREDDS from Java

Hi and thanks for the replies.

I've tried connecting with CdmRemote to your instance, works fine! I
noticed a slight pause on connect (I suppose that is tranfer of
headers..)

    String location =
"http://thredds-jumbo.unidata.ucar.edu/thredds/cdmremote/grib/NCEP/GFS/Global_0p25deg/Best";;
        ucar.nc2.stream.CdmRemote remoteNC = new
ucar.nc2.stream.CdmRemote(location);
        Variable var =
remoteNC.findVariable("Total_ozone_entire_atmosphere_single_layer");
        System.out.println(var.getDimensions());

   OUTPUT:
[time = 119;, lat = 721;, lon = 1440;]

At the time FeatureDatasetFactoryManager does not catch cdmremote
protocol, does it? Is it possible somehow cast CdmRemote to
GridDataset/GridDatatype to retrieve GridCoordSystem?

        Formatter errlog = new Formatter();
        FeatureDataset fdataset =
FeatureDatasetFactoryManager.open(FeatureType.GRID, location, null,
errlog);  //  Exception

I found [1] saying how to setup cdmremote, is that the right link if I
want to setup THREDDS locally with cdmremote enabled?

ProtoBuf.js seems very up to date. Maybe some day it will be merged
with protobuf repository. However, it is a communication framework. I
suppose building JavaScript lib for cdmremote will require substancial
efforts since Java-like functionality (Variable, Array etc.) will have
to be re-implemented on JavaScript.
