Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

[thredds] FMRC

I have to work with a lot of data, which are structured differently (in
naming and location conventions)
from a product to another one. I wonder if all of these would be easilly
configurable or if we have to
change their organisation. So I have a few questions:

- I would like to know more about all the scan fonctionnalities:
    Are they working the same way for matching regExp, and is the full file
path tested by this regExp or only the file name ?
    If the entire path is tested, does dateFormatMark, runDateMatcher and
other date markers use the full path to ?
    In other word, is it possible to extract date informations from
directory name as from file name ?

- In which cases netcdf files are opened when building catalogs, and if I
provide needed metadata,
    will they be opened to (optimizations)?

- I have a problem with the following datasetFmrc:

    Dataset definition:
    -------------------

    <datasetFmrc name="TestDatasetFmrc"  path="testDatasetFmrc">
        <metadata inherited="true">

            <dataType>Grid</dataType>
            <dataFormat>NetCDF</dataFormat>
        </metadata>
        <netcdf xmlns="
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2"; enhance="true">
            <aggregation dimName="run" type="forecastModelRunCollection"

                <scan
location="/home/coriolis_exp/spool/co01/co0123/co012302/co01230204/archive/"
                            regExp="(.*)MM5_200710([0-9]{2})\.nc$"
                            suffix=".nc" subdirs="true"
                            dateFormatMark="MM5_#yyyyMMdd"
                            olderThan="5 min" />
            </aggregation>
        </netcdf>
    </datasetFmrc>

    The files are all in the same directory:
    ----------------------------------------

    |-- /home/coriolis_exp/spool/co01/co0123/co012302/co01230204/archive/

    These files are structured as below (ncdump -h):

    I can access the dataset with the web browser:

    TestDatasetFmrc

        Best Time Series
        Forecast Model Run
        Constant Forecast Offset
        Constant Forecast Date

    But when I try to get any of the proposed datasets, it results in:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Etat HTTP 400 - NULL message java.lang.NullPointerException" in the
browser

    And in the threddsServlet.log:

    I can't see what's going wrong...

  Thanks for your help.
