visad server

[ncubukcu]

For last couple of months I have familiarized myself with visad basics 
and now I need to decide how to implement visad to visualize different 
meteorological data on a web site. I have a data server which will be 
the data source for all visad applications. The same server also has 
visad installed so it could be the visad server too.

First, I thought buffered images generated using display.getImage()  
(DisplayImplJ2D display) could do the work but this is just a snapshot. 
Visad could do much more than that so I decided not the go on this path.

The SocketSlaveDisplay server seems to be the way to go so I played with 
Test68 in examples directory  which allows interactive visualization. My 
problem with this is that Test68 needs to be run interactively. I have 
to walk to the sever room and run test68 on the local display and come 
back to my desk and use the browser to see the display.  Or, I will have 
to run X-win32 like utility to run Test68.  Obviously this is not  
efficient way to do this so at this point I am open to any suggestions 
you might have. Can I use java servlets to create a visad interface?
thanks in advance
