Metacat

Changes made to fix bug# 1302

Made changes to fix 1301. Works fine with eml2 - need to check if works with emlbeta6.

Fixed bug # 1298

Fixed bug# 1298

Replaced instances of DocList with HarvestList

Made changes to control whether a skin wants to use keywords or not. Keywords probably will be used by all skins alsways. But similar changes can be made for Geographic Coverage or Temporal COverage to control whether a particular section of the insert data template needs to be shown or not. This can be controlled from .cfg file. For example, in nceas.cfg is you define hasKeyword = false, none of the templates will show the keyword part. (Unless, you are using NCEAS skin and you try to modify a document which already has keywords.)

Replace Harvester dbDriver property with database property

Remove obsolete schema file

Harvest list schema

Shell script for running Harvester on Unix

Batch file for running Harvester on Windows

Rename url property to defaultDB

Add new Harvest Operation Properties to replace the HARVEST_OPERATION_TABLE

Add new option for return set size.

Updates to static html login and upload

Add delay and smtpServer properties

Added a simple action for finding out the current metacat version. The information is pulled from the property file, so be sure to update the version in the property file before shipping a release.

Changed printAttributeQuery() to no longer depend on the xml_index table. Now, if useXMLIndex is false, the method will use a recursive query on xml_nodes to match paths instead of using xml_index.

Removed unused references to abstractpath, and some unudes javascript.

Harvester properties file

Login page for Harvester Registration Servlet

Set new URL for the NCEAS registry home. I forgot to commit this earlier.

removed sid's space and added a >> before titles, so datasets with no title will still have a clickable link on results listings. Sid's space was not visible unless the user did a mouse-over

added sessionid hidden fields, based on $sessid transformer parameter set by DBTransform.java

Added space at the end of title that is returned back. This is done so that documents with no title can be clicked on.

Made changes in entryForm.tmpl so that it shows site list for specnet skin.

Adding registry skin for SpecNet.

Made changes in the formatting display of Project list.

Fixed a bug in sorting of records. Now the result sent back is title sorted.

Minor changes to allow the registry to work in the knb skin, mainly in
how to treat the 'site' field. Now it is a free-text organization
field in the KNB skin. Need to test, install this on ecoinfo and link it
into the KNB web pages.

Fixed a small bug.

Fix enter for bug 1306.

Fix for bug 1325. new javascript function added.

Added a new OBFS site to the list of sites. Information provided by Stromberg.

Bug 1301 - changes made for a repeatable add keyword button.

Made changes to fix bug# 1300: 1,2,3,4

Made text changes mentioned in bug# 1308

Changes made to fix bug# 1326. There is a link which call register-dataset.cgi with all the inputs such as that resgiter-dataset calls reEnterDataSet

Made changes to fix Bug 1311 1)

Added docid in edit form - Bug 1304

Added a view button as mentioned in bug 1304.

Made some hanges mentioned in bug 1297.

Made changes mentioned in Bug 1295.

deletaData.tmpl added a space in the end of docid. This led to an error while deleteing. This error was pointed out by Rick in his document.

Adding in a web.xml file specific to tomcat 5. Notice servlet.jar is
now servlet-api.jar

The tomcat 5 release notes includes this:

------------------------
Enabling invoker servlet:
------------------------

Starting with Tomcat 4.1.12, the invoker servlet is no longer available by...

New site list for NRS reserves in the confgiruation file from K Browne.

Adjusted the text on the NCEAS repository page. Changed the project list
so that it now displays short title but uses the long title in the
entry. This was doen because the long titles were far too long to display
decently in the list (the box scrolled way off the right of the page).

Added skin for the UCNRS data registry based on earlier work. Minor
modifications to the templates to accomodate this. Fixed a validation
bug in the register-dataset.cgi, and removed an unnecessary Net::LDAP
login as well because the authentication is handled by metacat.

Another eml.jar version with the appropriate config.xml in place.

New eml.jar that includes the parser bug fix against eml-2.0.0 schemas.

Changed label for NCEAS project group list on the web form.

Revised the registry guide to include descriptions of the new fields, and
made some minor formatting changes.

Added studyExtent and samplingDescription fields to the registry to accomodate
Sandy's request for a temporalDescription field. This is a little more than
she wanted, but it was needed to satisfy EML minimum requirements.

Removed obsolete SRB support files that are no longer used.

Added taxonomic coverage and authority fields, and fixed a bug in reentry
with the methods fields. Now we are collecting information on all of the
additional fields Sandy requested except for a general temporal description,
which doesn't fit neatly in EML. Will need to consider how to accomodate...

Added the ability to describe taxonomicCoverage to the registry. This
allows an arbitrary number of species or other taxa to be listed, and the
editing form can dynamically grow through a simple javascript approach
(also used in Methods). Need to test thoroughly, and need to test on...

Added geographic description to the fields of data collected, as it is
a required field and was being improperly defaulted to an empty string in the
XML document. This is a new field for all registries.

Modifications to add "Methods" collection to the data registry, and to
make the forms HTML 4.0.1 valid (in an attempt to figure out some of
the rendering and layout oddities I'm seeing).

Changed "Document ID" to "ID" which is mroe appropriate for data packages.

New formatting and text for the NCEAS data registry.

Further changes to the registry scripts to support the NCEAS registry
with access to the project list fromthe admindb. Also, fixed a bug with
the script where creators were getting duplicated in the editing process
accidentally.

Configuration file for NCEAS registry.

Adding style files for the new NCEAS skin for metacat, which includes
files needed for the NCEAS data repository.

Updated registry further for NCEAS-specific needs. Confirm data template
now handles new wg field. Still need to write WG metadata into EML document.

Additional work on the NCEAS/AdminDB integration. Working Groups now
presented as a dropdown box for multiple selection. Need to write the
info to the XML file now and handle it in confirmation template.

Preliminary changes to support the NCEAS data registry connection to the
AdminDB to retrieve project lists.

Improvements to the OBFS stylesheet, especially for EML display. Now we
import the eml_xsl.css stylesheet and override several of its templates.

Relocated to metacat/lib/harvester

took out h2 tags, added valign=top to TD containing logo, and added missing quotes on a link target=top

deleted harvesterConfiguration.xsd. This has been replaced by harvestDocument.xsd now found in metacat/lib/harvester and metacatHarvesterERD.vsd (/metacat/docs/dev/harvester) which models the database tables to be added to metacat.

This is the harvesterDocument.xsd. It will be used to validate harvestDocument.xml documents.

moved document to metcat/test/harvest directory

This is a sample of a harvest document.

This is an xml schema that describes the harvest document. The harvest document provides a metacat docid, a document type and a url for "get" ing the eml document.

Enabled stylesheet parameters to be passed through metacat even when the
'query' function is called. Previously, query would interpret all
parameters except a few hardcoded ones to be pathexpressions that should be
built into a squery. Now, metacat.properties contains a new configuration...

Updates that allow registry script to update the lastid field more efficiently
by calling the metacat 'getlastdocid' function for a given scope. Also some
debugging support added, and a bug where the error message was inproperly
saved across calls to metacat, resulting in spurious error messages.

New build system that creates a war file and deploys it to tomcat. Also
updated the web.xml files so that a better servlet path is used. Now, by
default, the servlet path will be: /knb/metacat (as opposed to the
prior servlet path which was /knb/servlet/metacat and depended on the...

Moved the metacat.properties file from the jar file to now be located in
the tomcat context directory in WEB-INF. Now the metacat configuration is
editable in place. This change depends on a new Options.java class in the
utilities module, so be sure you do a "clean" build in metacat so that you...

Harvester forms to support single file upload to metacat.

Fixed links to ldapweb to include the cfg param for proper styling.

removed search box from header

corrected image path

missed an edit when fixing the bug whereby form names aren't allowed to contain hyphens

bug fix: added code to strip brackets and hyphens from form names in results page

made results page table header into <th> so we can apply a different css style to eml stylesheet subheaders. added whitespace above& below section headers

fixed iframe tag- had multiple closings. Also added text for browsers that can't display iframes

cleaned up css greatly by importing eml css and knb css

knb.css now impots common eml css file - still need to fix layout in eml display tho' - something is being overridden and messes up alignment

changed knb skin index page to forward to knb site and include any user params in url. changed resultset.xsl so qformat is handled properly in posts. changed build file to copy default.css from eml checkout to style/common so other skin-specific css can import it if reqd

added JS to maintain ?name=value url params thru' redirect

added search gif used in default homepage

This is the merge from the branch WEB_UI_REDESIGN_BRANCH back into the head.
The only files that have been removed are those in lib/style/eml2; other files
that have been cvs removed (only from lib/ and lib/style) have been re-added
elsewhere (i.e. moved from one directory to another)....

A proposed configuration file format for the metacat harvester. This format is a simple XML document that details the schedule for harvesting, the user under which harvested documents should be owned, and the list of documents to be harvested,

superseded - now these elements are pulled in from the knb website

new include files for metacat web pages - header and search box. Still need to remove hard-coded context uris

Get rid of etral http:// in parties'url

Added a browse stylesheet that indexes data sets by keyword, creator, and
organization, all on one page. Use style=browse to access.

Some minor formatting improvements to keyword index, and change style
setting to style=keywords to access.

Added a new stylesheet and style-set that allows one to display all of the
keywords from a query on metacat in a sorted, unique list. Each keyword
is a link to a metacat query that returns all of the data packages that
reference that keyword. Use style=browse to invoke this stylesheet on a...

File to deploy metacat web service.

Delete some confused words.
