In order to change HtmlWriter.java, you will need to pull down the source code from our repository on github: https://github.com/Unidata/thredds Then, you will be able to go into HtmlWriter.java and modify the appendSimpleFooter() method to make a footer: private void appendSimpleFooter( StringBuilder sb ) { sb.append( "<h3>" ); if ( this.htmlConfig.getInstallName() != null ) { String installUrl = this.htmlConfig.prepareUrlStringForHtml( this.htmlConfig.getInstallUrl() ); if ( installUrl != null ) sb.append( "<a href='" ).append( installUrl ).append( "'>" ); sb.append( this.htmlConfig.getInstallName() ); if ( installUrl != null ) sb.append( "</a>" ); } if ( this.htmlConfig.getHostInstName() != null ) { sb.append( " at " ); String hostInstUrl = this.htmlConfig.prepareUrlStringForHtml( this.htmlConfig.getHostInstUrl() ); if ( hostInstUrl != null ) sb.append( "<a href='" ).append( hostInstUrl ).append( "'>" ); sb.append( this.htmlConfig.getHostInstName() ); if ( hostInstUrl != null ) sb.append( "</a>" ); sb.append( "<br>\n" ); } sb.append( this.tdsContext.getWebappName() ) .append( " [Version " ).append( this.tdsContext.getWebappVersion() ); if ( this.tdsContext.getWebappVersionBuildDate() != null ) sb.append( " - " ).append( this.tdsContext.getWebappVersionBuildDate() ); sb.append( "] <a href='" ) .append( this.htmlConfig.prepareUrlStringForHtml( this.htmlConfig.getWebappDocsUrl() ) ) .append( "'> Documentation</a>" ); sb.append( "</h3>\n" ); } Essentially, you will want to do something like this: private void appendSimpleFooter( StringBuilder sb ) { sb.append("<div id=\"footer\">"); sb.append("THIS IS MY FOOTER"); sb.append("\div"); } Similarly, you can do your header by editing the convertCatalogToHtml(InvCatalogImpl cat, boolean isLocalCatalog) method.
