Hi All,
Are we not allowed to include ampersands in the URL string for adding a viewer
property? Even when I encode them as & I get the same error. I am trying to
point a viewer directly to a screen in Live Access Server (LAS) that will
display the dataset being viewed in TDS; as an example, here's a URL to our
ROMS FMRC model output:
http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/las/getUI.do?dsid=hiroms_hiig&catid=hiroms_hiig&varid=temp-hiroms_hiig&plot=Plot_2D_XY_zoom&view=xy.
When I add this URL in the viewer property, the catalog for that datasets page
fails to load (HTTP Status 404: Not Found). threddsServlet.log and catalina.out
have nothing much to say, but here is what I found in catalogInit.log about
this:
readCatalog(): full
path=/usr/local/tomcat/content/thredds/idd/ocn_mod_hiig.xml;
path=idd/ocn_mod_hiig.xml
readCatalog(): invalid catalog -- ----Catalog Validation version 1.0.01
**Fatal: InvCatalogFactory.readXML failed
Exception= org.jdom.input.JDOMParseException Error on line 73: The reference
to entity "catid" must end with the ';' delimiter.
fatalMessages= *** XML parser fatalError (73:101)= The reference to entity
"catid" must end with the ';' delimiter.
errMessages=
warnMessages=
initCatalog(): failed to read catalog
</usr/local/tomcat/content/thredds/idd/ocn_mod_hiig.xml>.
Note that it is referring to "catid" that is in the URL I am trying to use. Is
there a workaround for this or is this a feature I can request for a future TDS
release? Thanks!
Cheers,

P.S. Here is the entry in my TDS catalog about this:
<datasetFmrc name="HI-ROMS Forecast Model Run Collection"
ID="roms_hiig_forecast"
path="hioos/roms_forec/hiig"
collectionType="ForecastModelRuns">
<metadata inherited="true">
<property name="viewer"
value="http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/las/getUI.do?dsid=hiroms_hiig&catid=hiroms_hiig&varid=temp-hiroms_hiig&plot=Plot_2D_XY_zoom&view=xy,Live
Access Server (LAS)" />
</metadata>
