README

Updated for Version 3.10.4 (23 April 2014)

This is the OPeNDAP netCDF Data Handler. It is used along with Hyrax.

For information about building the OPeNDAP netCDF Data Handler, see the
INSTALL file.

This data handler is a component of the OPeNDAP DAP Server; the server base
software is designed to allow any number of handlers to be configured easily.
See the DAP Server README and INSTALL files for information about
configuration, including how to use this handler.

This version of the handler has been updated to read netcdf 4 files
and supports most of the netcdf 4 data types, not just those defined
as part of the netcdf 'classic' data model.

See http://docs.opendap.org/index.php/BES_-_Modules_-_The_NetCDF_Handler
for the full story on the different data models and how they are
mapped into DAP2 along with the (expanded) set of configuration
parameters.

Test data are also installed, so after installing this handler, Hyrax 
will have data to serve providing an easy way to test your new installation
and to see how a working bes.conf should look. To use this, make sure
that you first install the bes, and that dap-server gets installed too.
Finally, every time you install or reinstall handlers, make sure to restart
the BES and OLFS.
