TDS datasetScan and Service

[Ethan Davis]

Hi Benoit,

I'm afraid there isn't a way for the datasetScan to produce different 
paths for the same dataset depending on the nested service. The 
datasetScan was not designed with this in mind. Actually, nested 
services weren't designed with this in mind either. When a nested 
service is referenced by a dataset, the same urlPath is always used on 
all the nested services.

This can be represented in a THREDDS catalog by using multiple <access> 
elements in each dataset. Each <access> element references a service and 
provides a urlPath so each one can be controlled however you like. 
However, datasetScan doesn't generate <access> elements and we don't 
have any other ways to automatically generate this kind of dataset

More detail on the <access> element is available at

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/catalog/InvCatalogSpec.html#access

Hope this helps,

Ethan
