Re: More on WCS and THREDDS 3.16.36

aha!

I think the problem is that the tomcat user (however tomcat is started) doesnt 
have write permission in the WCS cache directory:

      File dir = new File( getDiskCache().getRootDirectory());
      File tifFile = File.createTempFile("WCS", ".tif", dir);  <<< fails here

you may be using the default; to set it explicitly, use the "dir" element in WCS 
section of content/thredds/ThreddsConfig.xml, eg:

  <WCS>
    <allow>false</allow>
    <dir>/data/tmp/thredds/wcsCache/</dir>
    <scour>15 min</scour>
    <maxAge>30 min</maxAge>
  </WCS>

see:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/reference/ThreddsConfigXMLFile.html

We changed it in latest version because old way was not thread-safe, if 2 
requests for the same dataset came in at the same time.

let me know if that works...
