Serving WDSS-II products using the web

Choose how you want to do this:
  1. Create Geotiff images and serve them out to Google Earth
  2. Create png images and serve them out to any browser with Javascript
  3. Put your netcdf files out on the webserver and have a remotely running WDSS-II OpenGL display (wg) download and display the data
You can see examples of (1) and (2) in our real-time page.

(3) Serving netcdf and XML files to wg

  1. Get the data to the webserver via LDM Note that you will use w2receive.sh for both fml and netcdf files. You don't use a LB.
  2. Install a Java application server (such as JBoss or Sun's Linux app server) and put the webindex.ear that came with your WDSS-II distribution in the application server's autodeploy directory (see the app server documentation for where this is).
  3. Start the application server
  4. Users will be able to connect to your data source by typing the URL: 
       http://{webserver}/webindex/{sourcename}?protocol="webindex"
    in the wg "Add Source" dialog.

Please post any questions on the discussion forum.
