[THREDDS #GEC-600533]: Unable to perform DODS subsetting in TOOLSUI

Hi Leakha,

> AS proposed in [another THREDDS inquiry GEC 600533], I'm using

NetcdfDataset.openDataset() will not accept constrained OPeNDAP URLs. There 
isn't a method in the netCDF-java API that will open a constrained OPeNDAP URL. 
The netcdf API can open unconstrained OPeNDAP datasets and when the netCDF API 
is used to get subsets it will translate that into OPeNDAP constrained 
requests. Those requests return the subset of data via OPeNDAP and the netCDF 
library translates that into netCDF API objects in memory.

Hope that helps,

Ethan
