Versions impacted by the bug

5.9.0

What went wrong?

I'm trying to enable use of the netCDF-C library by feeding RuntimeConfigParser an nj22config.xml file and ran into a couple problems.

The first is that at line 292 of that class there is a catch block that throws back a message that NetcdfClibrary is not on the classpath no matter what the exception is in the block just above. It took me a while to puzzle this out because of the use of appending messages to the errlog buffer rather than actually write to a logger, but eventually I figured that out.

Then it turns out that there is always an exception because at line 289, the code tries to get the setLibraryAndPath method from NetcdfClibrary and that method does not exist. So line 292 was not reporting the correct exception.

So I changed 289 to request the setLibraryNameAndPath and NJ now reads my simple config file.

(Unfortunately, I'm now getting an exception a "-128: NetCDF: Attempt to use feature that was not turned on when netCDF was built." trying to read a CDF5 file, but that's a whole nother kettle of trouble.)
