Metacat

Updated metacat login semantics. Now, metacat assumes the username passed
in is the 'full' distinguished name of the user. If that fails, then
instead it tries looking up the string and seeing if it can determine
what the DN is, then uses it. The preferred method of logging in via...

added input box in replMain web page for downloading of the certificate file
from the specified URL of the source server
added new metacat property "certPath" for uploading the certificate file onto destination server

Added support for multiple user interfaces by enabling style sheet
transformations to be configured from within metacat rather than
from in the database. Now, metacat uses the qformat parameter to determine
a "style set", which is mapped to an xml configuration file that...

Revised build.xml and metacat.properties to make it easier to
install alternative stylesheets for metacat. In the process,
replaced the deprecated copydir and copyfile commands in build.xml
with appropriate "copy" commands.

b' AccessControlList is changed to use eml-access-2.0.dtd already

changed dbAdapter property to edu...OracleAdapter

added new property for the dbadapter class as:
dbAdapter=edu.ucsb.nceas.dbadapter.DBOracle
the installation procedure should change it to the appropriate class

Modifications that change the package handling behavior of metacat. Package
membership is now determined by an identifier being used as either the subject
or object in a triple. One can not request arbitrary returndocs -- only
those types that have package information embedded can be "returndoctype"...

changed doctype of package files

added data port param

added property "accessdoctype=-//NCEAS//eml-access//EN"

Modified pathquery.dtd and QuerySpecification to allow some new constraints

returned, and a list of <site> tags constraining the site identifiers...

added replication properties

merge AUTH_LDAP to the main branch

added a "server" parameter which tells the system the path to the server on which metacat is running. This is used for metacat:// urls.

decrease the number of "initialConnections" to 5, "increaseConnections" stay 5, decrease the "maximumConnections" to 10

Changed "xmltodb" to "html-path/style" so that the resultset.xsl
stylesheet could be found in various servlet contexts.

sorry, I needed new property "html-path" with value "/xmltodb" for me.
Chad, for you should be I think "/berkley"

New "servletpath" and "installdir" properties

updated properties file to reflect new db location

-Reorganized xmltodb module to support new install process for the new
linux server (dev.nceas.ucsb.edu). Added "build.sh" shell script that
