HiI am trying to create a thredds catalogue. I have used the primer to set up my first catalogue and
ran into the following error when attempting to execute[govett@cray Thredds]$ java -classpath cataloggen-0.9.3.jar:jdom-b8.jar:dods.1.1.5.jar:log4j-1.2.7.jar thredds.cataloggen.CatalogGen myCatalogue.xml
It looks like I generateda catalogue correctly but what is the below error? "cos-nonambig ...."
Also, if there are multiple sites that contain the data I want, is there any way to indicate which site would deliver the data faster? Eg. - one might be on a massStorage system where the other is
online? Thanks. Mark[Error] :282:44: cos-nonambig: "http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/thredds/InvCatalog/v1.0":start and "http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/thredds/InvCatalog/v1.0":start (or elements from their substitution group) violate "Unique Particle Attribution". During validation against this schema, ambiguity would be created for those two particles.
