[Geoserver-users] Geo Server, OPeNDAP integration

Hello,

I am new to the image domain, Geo Server, netCDF etc. I would appreciate if
someone can help me with some basic questions. As I am new to this area; my
questions may not be meaningful. I am trying to design a system and my
questions are as follows:

1) The netCDF files will be placed on a ftp server.
I am planning that OPenDAP will extract the required netCDF and provide it
to geserver.
The geoserver will process the netCDF and generate the required images.
I am thinking of using open source softwares in the following manner
Tomcat --> Geo Server --> OPeNDAP --> netCDF (on FTP server).
Is it feasible ?

2) If the option 1) is feasible, are there examples available for this ?

Regards,
Amar

Hi Amar,

I think this sort of workflow is definitely feasible. One thing you should look at is the ingestion engine developed by geosolutions. They can comment further on that.

But what it basically comes down to is setting up a "consumer" for files which pushes those files into geoserver via a REST interface.

Some docs about the rest interfaces can be found here:
