hdf4/hdf5 [Fwd: Re: HDF4 support]

Hi,

I guess we also have a large supply of HDF4 files.   I would 2nd the
motion for HDF4 support in Thredds :)

NCSA seems to be a fully operational hdf4 and hdf5 library for java.
How much effort would it take to adapt this for use in THREDDS?

The THREDDS Data Server only serves data that the netCDF-java library
can read. As Yuan said, it can't read HDF4 but can read HDF5 (though it
isn't a full HDF5 implementation, so there are HDF5 files that it can't
read).

However, if you are looking for OPeNDAP access, the OPeNDAP project
(opendap.org) does have an HDF4 server.
