thredds.server.opendap.servlet.GetInfoHandler

public class GetInfoHandler
extends Object

Default handler for OPeNDAP info requests. This class is used by AbstractServlet. This code exists as a separate class in order to alleviate code bloat in the AbstractServlet class. As such, it contains virtually no state, just behaviors.

sendINFO

public void sendINFO(PrintWriter pw,
                     GuardedDataset gds,
                     ReqState rs)

************************************************************************ Default handler for OPeNDAP info requests. Returns an html document describing the contents of the servers datasets.

The "INFOcache" <init-param> element in the web.xml file specifies the designated location for:

• ".info" response override files.
• Server specific HTML* files.
• Dataset specific HTML* files .

The server specific HTML* files must be named #servlet#.html where #servlet# is the name of the servlet that is running as the OPeNDAP server in question. This name is determined at run time by using the class called Class ( this.getClass().getName() ).

In the C++ code the analogy is the per-cgi file names.

The dataset specific HTML* files are located by catenating `.html' to #name#, where #name# is the name of the dataset. If the filename part of #name# is of the form [A-Za-z]+[0-9]*.* then this function also looks for a file whose name is [A-Za-z].html For example, if #name# is .../data/fnoc1.nc this function first looks for .../data/fnoc1.nc.html. However, if that does not exist it will look for .../data/fnoc.html. This allows one `per-dataset' file to be used for a collection of files with the same root name.

NB: An HTML* file contains HTML without the , or tags (my own notation).

Look for the user supplied Server- and dataset-specific HTML* documents.

Parameters:

pw - The PrintStream to which the output should be written.

gds - The thread safe dataset.

rs - The ReqState object for theis client request.

Throws:

opendap.dap.DAP2Exception

opendap.dap.parsers.ParseException
