RE: THREDDS Catalog Generator Error

Mark,

 

Looks like you are trying to read a config file on your local filesystem.  I believe the generator is looking to access the config file through a URL path - meaning that you need to have the file accessible up through a web server.

Subject: THREDDS Catalog Generator Error

Hello,

I'm trying to run a simple test of the THREDDS catalog generator, and this is what's happening:

[mao@panther THREDDS]$ /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/java -classpath cataloggen-0.6.jar:thredds.jar:jdom-b8.jar:dods.1.1.1.jar thredds.cataloggen.CatalogGen mytest.xml
Catalog NOT read successfully (mytest.xml):
Message=----Catalog Validation version 0.6.02
** InvCatalogFactory.readXML (1) MalformedURLException on URL <mytest.xml> no protocol: mytest.xml

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

[mao@panther THREDDS]$ cat mytest.xml

        </datasetSource>
      </catalogGenConfig>
    </metadata>
  </dataset>
</catalog>
[mao@panther THREDDS]$

Any idea why I'm getting the MalformedURLException?

Thanks,

Mark
