==Description==
The CEDAR data handler module was written for the [http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/ Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR)] community to be able to read in CEDAR data files (cbf) and return data products known within the OPeNDAP community, as well as provide data products that the CEDAR community uses (FLAT, TAB, and INFO return types)

==Status==
Stable release 2.3.0 in production

==Services Handled==
* dap
** DAS
** DDS
** DDX
** Data
** Data return as netcdf
** ascii
** html_form
** info_page

==Services Provided==
* cedar
** FLAT
** TAB
** INFO (different from info_page)

==Download==
The latest release of this module is cedar_handler 2.3.0 and can be retrieved from the [http://scm.opendap.org/svn/tags/cedar/cedar_3.1.0/cedar_handler-2.3.0/ OPeNDAP Subversion repository]

==How to use the module==
Once installed, the cedar.conf file is added to the etc/bes/modules directory to be loaded by the BES. The configuration file must first be edited to be able to access the CEDAR Catalog (MySQL relational database), the CEDAR reporting database (MySQL relational database), and the CEDAR user database (for authentication and authorization purposes).

The CEDAR module includes its own container storage, so containers do not need to be created within the BES. The base name of the actual dataset can be used as the container name, as the example below shows using mfp9205040a.

If not using the OLFS to serve your data, for example if using the bescmdln, you would run a command file that would look something like this:

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request reqID="some_unique_value" >
<define name="d">
<container name="mfp920504a" />
</define>
<get type="dods" definition="d"/>
</request>
</pre>
