before !

in it.
thanks very much,

Thanks for the quick response! I downloaded the netcdfAll-2.2.07.zip,
but now I'm getting a NoClassDefFoundError: ucar/nc2/dataset/conv/Convention
when I call thredds.datamodel.Dataset.getGridDataset (line 135 of
Dataset.java). I think one of the jars must be out of sync with the
others, but I can't figure out which. Any ideas? Thanks again,
Eric
hmmm, thats an old package we arent using anymore. Did that come out of
thredds.jar? Are you using it, or just trying to do a source compile?
Aha! It's from catalogUI.jar, which wasn't in the netcdfAll jar. I don't
know how it snuck in there. I'm updating the Thredds support I added to
My World a while back, and it appears from looking at the current
Thredds source code that using Dataset is no longer the way to get a
GridDataset from an InvDataset. It looks like the way to do it now is
to use the ucar.nc2.thredds.ThreddsDataFactory. Is that correct? Is
there a document somewhere I should be reading that describes this
change and similar changes from Thredds 1.3 to 2.0? Thanks,
Eric
Hi Eric, I didnt realize who you were at first. Yes, Ive been
refactoring the whole thredds/netcdf-java stuff. Ive been planning on
putting together a new release suitable for anyone using the UI classes
before anyone noticed, but you've beat me to it! Generally, client side
stuff is moving to ucar.nc2, and server stuff will be done in the
thredds packages.
As I recall, you are getting GeoGrid objects and working with them? We
are adding new data types (eg radar, buoy data, etc) some of which you
may be interested in. We are redoing these "scientific data types" as
interfaces, under the ucar.nc2.dt package. GeoGrid will eventually
implement a GridDatatype interface (or somehing).
Anyway, its not quite done yet, there are some loose ends, but now would
be a good time to figure out what you need and when you need it. Why
dont you download the ToolsUI (used to be the thredds data viewer) and
look around at it:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf-java/v2.2/webstart/index.html
And look at ucar.nc2.ui.ToolsUI to see how things work in there. The
ToolsUI handles both local files and files accessible through THREDDS
catalogs. Are you interested in local file access? The nj22 package is
starting to be able to other file formats besides netcdf, including
grib, radar, etc.
