Filtering thredds datasetScan by both directory and file pattern?

In THREDDS server setup, I need to configure datasetScan filter element in catalog.xml so that it takes into account full file path, not just file name or directory name. Say, I have following folder structure:

/GGG/alpha/a
          /b
          /c
/GGG/beta/a
         /b
         /c

And I want to remove a file named a only from folder alpha. I can remove the file a from both folders by setting 

<exclude wildcard="a"/>

or I can remove the folder alpha completely by setting

<exclude wildcard="alpha" atomic="false" collection="true"/>

but setting wildcard="alpha/a" or anything similar does not seem to work. I have also tried regexp instead of wildcard and different combinations of atomic and collection, but no luck. Is my understanding correct that it is not currently possible to filter by folder and file names in one rule?

Solution

  • The <exclude> and <include> elements only allows to match the name, but no the full path.

    P.S.: BTW, I have just made a pull request at the Thredds' GitHub repository to include this funcionality.

    Probably some tests and improvement should be reviewed.
