Re: Error reading catalog with latest (2.2.16) toolsUI jar

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for looking into this. I think you've hit upon the solution, but ultimately I think it will take updates to the PyDAP server to truly fix the problem (or text versions of the entire hierarchy). The test catalog is valid and it reads just fine in my software. However, each of the catalogRef elements points to another catalog generated by PyDAP each of which has the same problems as the original so my software fails again when tries to work with the next level down.

Hi Roland -
I've taken a closer look at the THREDDS being generated by our PyDAP server, and I've found a number of errors. Fortunately, they shouldn't be too difficult to correct. I was able to get the XML from http://climate.llnl.gov/dap/ipcc4?thredds to validate after: 
1) Adding the encoding="utf-8" attribute to the XML declaration.
2) Adding the DOCTYPE declaration: <!DOCTYPE catalog SYSTEM "http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/xml/InvCatalog.0.6.dtd";> 3) Referencing the xlink namespace in the catalog tag: xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; 
4) Adding "name" and "version" attributes to the catalog tag.
5) Changing all catalogRef "href" and "title" attributes to "xlink:href" and "xlink:title", respectively.
Below is the corrected version of the THREDDS catalog, which I was able to validate with the THREDDS validation form. I've also temporarily posted this at: http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/test/thredds.xml 
Does this parse successfully using your Java code?

Thanks,
Kyle

Hi Folks,
I sent a message on this subject to the support-thredds address at Unidata, but it occurred to me that this might be a "community question" that the pyDAP developer might want to weigh in on so here goes...
When I attempt to read this catalog: http://climate.llnl.gov/dap/ipcc4?thredds (which I believe is being automatically generated by the pyDAP server) I get the following error: 

Exception in thread "Thread-11" java.lang.NullPointerException
  at thredds.catalog.InvCatalogRef.<init>(InvCatalogRef.java:70)
at thredds.catalog.parser.jdom.InvCatalogFactory10.readCatalogRef(InvCatalogFactory10.java:153) at thredds.catalog.parser.jdom.InvCatalogFactory10.readDatasetInfo(InvCatalogFactory10.java:266) at thredds.catalog.parser.jdom.InvCatalogFactory10.readDataset(InvCatalogFactory10.java:182) at thredds.catalog.parser.jdom.InvCatalogFactory10.readCatalog(InvCatalogFactory10.java:135) at thredds.catalog.parser.jdom.InvCatalogFactory10.parseXML(InvCatalogFactory10.java:89) at thredds.catalog.InvCatalogFactory.readXML(InvCatalogFactory.java:324) at thredds.catalog.InvCatalogFactory.readXML(InvCatalogFactory.java:299) at thredds.catalog.ui.CatalogFactoryCancellable.access$701(CatalogFactoryCancellable.java:42) at thredds.catalog.ui.CatalogFactoryCancellable$OpenCatalogTask.run(CatalogFactoryCancellable.java:155) 
  at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
I have tried both my own code which I know uses 2.2.16 and the toolsUI that launches from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/v2.2/webstart/netCDFtools-2.2.jnlp.
I could not get the validation form at http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/validateForm.html to work against this URL either. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Roland
