- do you have any documentation on that?
Yes, I have an extensive answer from Guy Griffiths, the author of
ncWMS2, explaining how to add new styles in ncWMS2:
https://github.com/Reading-eScience-Centre/ncwms/issues/21#issuecomment-362214137
What I hadn't noticed then is that ncWMS2 wasn't available in TDS 4.6
and new styles can't be added in ncWMS.
The answer by Guy is specific of ncWMS2, not TDS. That's why it says
that "custom styles live in ~/.ncWMS2/.styles although
different/additional directories can be defined."
The explanation in the documentation
(https://reading-escience-centre.gitbooks.io/ncwms-user-guide/content/02-installation.html#servlet) is
this:
To change the location of the server configuration, you need to
redefine the context parameter configDir. To do this on Tomcat, you
should create a file named
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/[webappname].xml. For
example, with the default webapp name running on localhost this is
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/ncWMS2.xml. Below is an example
config with several options set, including configDir:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Context> <Parameter
name="configDir" value="$HOME/.ncWMS2-testserver" override="false"/>
<Parameter name="paletteDirs"
value="$HOME/.ncWMS2-testserver/palettes" override="false"/>
<Parameter name="styleDirs" value="$HOME/.ncWMS2-testserver/styles"
override="false"/> <Parameter name="defaultPalette"
value="[whatever]" override="false"/> <Parameter
name="advertisedPalettes" value="[whatever]" override="false"/>
</Context> >If you would not mind, could you add an issue about
supporting new styles on github? I'll do my best to make sure that
>feature is in the beta release so we can kick the tires on it.
Sure! We are extremely interested in this feature. I have installed
TDS 5.0.0-alpha3 to begin investigating it. If I can help any further,
just tell me.
Cheers,
David Gil

_Hi!
We're using TDS 4.6 and need to create new styles for ncWMS, but it
seems that new styles can only be created in the next version of
ncWMS (ncWMS2), which will be available in TDS 5.0.
My questions are:
--Can TDS 4.6 use ncWMS2?
--Are there any plans of releasing soon the first beta of TDS 5.0?
Thank you!
David Gil_
