Hi Kris: You must implement ucar.nc2.IOServiceProviderOnce its working, register it with
ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile.registerIOProvider();No documentation yet, but there are examples in
ucar.nc2.iosp.* nexrad2 and dmsp are perhaps easier to start looking at. Send in your questions and ill start developing some documentation. Kris Nuttycombe wrote:
Hi, John, Over here at NGDC we are getting ready to start writing a number of readers for legacy file formats to work with the IO service provider framework. Can you point me toward the best place to start (i.e., what interfaces need to be implemented) to allow us to plug in to your framework? Thanks, Kris Nuttycombe
