Mark,
Looks like you are trying to read a config file on your local
filesystem. I believe the generator is looking to access the config
file through a URL path - meaning that you need to have the file
accessible up through a web server.

*Subject:* THREDDS Catalog Generator Error
Hello,
I'm trying to run a simple test of the THREDDS catalog generator,
and this is what's happening:
[mao@panther THREDDS]$ /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/java -classpath
cataloggen-0.6.jar:thredds.jar:jdom-b8.jar:dods.1.1.1.jar
thredds.cataloggen.CatalogGen mytest.xml
Catalog NOT read successfully (mytest.xml):
Message=----Catalog Validation version 0.6.02
** InvCatalogFactory.readXML (1) MalformedURLException on URL <mytest.xml> no
protocol: mytest.xml

[mao@panther THREDDS]$ cat mytest.xml

</datasetSource>
</catalogGenConfig>

</catalog>

Any idea why I'm getting the MalformedURLException?
Thanks,
Mark
i think you can use file:///path
best to use absolute path if you can
