Add a new box for inserting new resultset into xml_queryresult table.

Add new query box for executing getAttributeReturnValue.

A png version of query flow chart/

flow chart of metacat query.

Change "server" to "config.hostname" in config.hostname description.

At Jing's suggestion, added back descriptions for the 'server' and 'httpserver' properties. Since the default values can be used in most cases, the descriptions were added to the table titled 'Other properties in build.properties that you can (but generally need not) change'....

Update metacat installation documentation for 1.7 release.

Initial design document for the SEON data set uploading to metacat.

Add a troubleshooting to handle X11 windows issue after restart tomcat.

Added an explanation of john h's old spatial diagrams

some clarifications on spatial install process

The first complete draft of the spatial documentation.

Initial architecture for dynamically generating SLD/OGC:Filter documents to control which docids get shown on the map. The sldfactory servlet is in place to handle this but is not fully functional since there is currently no way to quickly and dynamically generate a list of allowable docids with a level of performance acceptable for real-time web mapping.

slowly improving the spatial docs

Removed tomcat 3 support

Merged the spatial web.xml.combined into the default web.xml.tomcat5

initial import of html versions of spatial option documentation

initial import of html versions of spatial option documentation

install.spatial no longer optional since metacat servlet requires some geotools libs. Spatial option can be still be turned off in metacat.properties

example build properties files for win and ubuntu platforms

Added some install docs specific to ubuntu and windows setups

Update to reflect newer versions of ant, java sdk and postgres

Initial thoughts about modifying the metacat data model and programs to
support full LSID identifiers in the data model.

Updated the lsid support docs and added john,will, and callie to
contributors section of the Readme.

Documentation on the LSID authority features.

Add new command to create no-password key.

My thoughts on the metacat spatial architecture.

Minor documentation fix. buildindex action should be all lowercase.

Minor edits to installation instructions for Metcat 1.5.0.

Fix documentation bug. The documentation said that the operator name was INTERSECTION, but the actual name is INTERSECT.

Changes in the documentation for the new release

Updated install instructions with IPv6 instructions for postgres.

Changed default maxHarvests value to 0. Added logic to ignore maxHarvests value when it is set to 0 or a negative number. This allows Harvester to run indefinitely without shutting down after reaching a maximum number of harvests. The previous default value of 30 would cause Harvester to terminate after 30 harvests.

Updated the diagram with terminology that is consistent with the current harvester design.

Modify Harvester documentation to provide instructions for configuring and running Harvester as a servlet.

Minor enhancement to support multiple email addresses for harvester administrator and site contact. Each address is separated by a comma or semicolon.

One last clarification to the install instructions regarding the sql scripts.

Modified the build to be smarter about making sure that the EML schemas
and styles are in place (so manually running 'geteml' should no longer
be needed), and renamed the 'loaddtdschemas' target to 'register-schemas'.
Reorganized and clarified installation instructions to make the order of...

Created a list of all of the servlet actions in the documentation and listed
all reuired and optional parameters for each action. These need to be
documented but at least the list is all in one place now.

Added new sections to the Metacat documentation describing the Metacat
client API and the Metacat 'getlog' servlet action for event reporting.

Updated metacat documentation with additional properties and fixed the
description of several properties. We really need to clean out unused
properties and generally clean up the configuration morass.

Revisions to Metacat Installation Instructions page. Most of the edits in this revision involve the build.properties file. A new HTML table was created to describe the properties and their values.

Add a note that you should put full name as state name to generate a key. Otherwise, the trustkey will be not recongized.

Improve handling of default values.
Call fileNew() if no default Harvest List file is specified.
Improve documentation for default properties.

Add documentation for the Harvest List Editor.
Display the Harvester Registration web form as a HTML table instead of as text.

Added utilities module dependency to the instructions.

New instructions, particularly regarding some of the problems I had on
postgres remembering how to set up the user access control and tcp connections.

Add a example how to setup key.

Improve Harvester registration login
