Re: [thredds] aggregation / arithmetic between variables

Hi Roland, all,

I think I know what's going on here.  The WMS code uses different strategies to 
read data from disk, depending upon whether the data are 
compressed/uncompressed, local/remote.  It probably can't figure out a strategy 
for this "virtual" dataset.  I didn't anticipate this so apologies for the 
unhelpful error message.

I'm pretty sure the error is precisely here:
http://www.resc.rdg.ac.uk/trac/ncWMS/browser/branches/tds4.2-20101102/src/java/uk/ac/rdg/resc/ncwms/cdm/CdmUtils.java#L221

String fileType = nc.getFileTypeId();
return fileType.equals("netCDF") || fileType.equals("HDF4")
               ? DataReadingStrategy.SCANLINE
               : DataReadingStrategy.BOUNDING_BOX;

I guess getFileTypeId() returns null in this case.  Ethan, in the next bugfix 
release could you change this to:

return "netCDF".equals(fileType)|| "HDF4".equals(fileType)
               ? DataReadingStrategy.SCANLINE
               : DataReadingStrategy.BOUNDING_BOX;

I've just changed this on my tds-refactor branch of ncWMS (but not actually 
tested it!), so you (Ethan) might just be able to sync your code with mine.  
It's already changed on ncWMS trunk.

Cheers, Jon
