Re: [thredds] WMS capabilities

Hi Marcos,

I don't know geotools at all so I'm kind of pulling this out of thin
air. What came to mind, seeing as this seems to be a cross-webapp
problem, was this snippet from some Spring javadocs:

    "Some containers (like Tomcat) do not keep system properties
    separate per web app."

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/org/springframework/web/util/Log4jWebConfigurer.html

So, I was wondering if geotools uses system properties and if TDS/ncWMS
and Geoserver somehow are mucking with the same system properties.

I'm not seeing any geotools specific system properties on our server. If
there are any on your server running Geoserver, it might be that
TDS/ncWMS assumes the defaults and Geoserver sets some specific properties.

If you have the TDS remote management setup
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/reference/RemoteManagement.html),
you can get a list of system properties from the admin page
(http://server/thredds/admin/debug) by clicking on the "Show Server
info" link in the "General" section.
