OPeNDAP is pleased to announce Hyrax 1.6.2!
New Feature Summary:
- Hyrax Directory Page (Index) Upgrades:
- Webstart Viewer Links: Webstart column now contains links to external viewers for the dataset and supports the ability to add new ones
- Server Context Customization: Renaming the opendap.war file to foobar.war results in the server context (root URL) becoming foobar --- for example, http://test.opendap.org/opendap/ becomes http://test.opendap.org/foobar/
- THREDDS Catalogs: Static THREDDS catalogs support inherited metadata for datasetScan elements.
- RDF: Hyrax now supports transformations from the DDX response to RDF for semantic processing
- Geogrid Function Additions
- Multiple calls to geogrid() function are now supported in the constraint expression.
- Supports optional arguments to designate coordinate dimensions on which to operate
- NcML Module: Initial support for joinExisting aggregations on granules with explicitly listed join dimension sizes (i.e. ncoords attribute is required). This allows aggregations to be specified two ways:
- Explicit lists of netcdf elements with ncoords attribute
- Hyrax Extension: scan element allows specification of ncoords for the case where all granules have the same dimension size.
- HDF4 Handler: Improved support for HDF-EOS and common visualization tools such as IDV and Panoply (aka support for the COARDS conventions). See the README for more complete information.
- Maintenance bug fixes and minor updates in other handlers. Please see individual handler pages for specifics.
Required External Dependencies In order to get the basic Hyrax 1.6.2 server running, you will need:
- Java 1.6
- Tomcat 6.x
Individual handlers may have their own external dependencies as well --- please see the individual handler pages for specifics. What To Get Here To run the Hyrax server, you will need to download and install the following (from source or binary):
- OLFS (which is a Java binary and runs on any computer with Java 1.6)
- libdap
- BES
- General Purpose Handlers (aka dap-server)
- One or more data handlers depending on which data you wish to serve
Binaries
Java-
- OLFS 1.7.1 Web Archive File ( gpg signature) Unpack using 'tar -xvf filename' and follow the instructions in the README file. (Requires Java 1.6. Built using Java 6 (java version "1.6.0_17"). Tested against Tomcat 6.0.x)
- If you are updating from an older version of Hyrax (older than Hyrax 1.5.0) you will need to update your olfs.xml file! See $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/opendap/initialContent/olfs.xml for the default olfs.xml for Hyrax 1.6.1. For more detailed information see the Hyrax Configuration Documentation
