Metacat

cleared static methods in AccessionNumber classes for fixing bug found
when multiple requests to the servlet at a time.

Added "release" keyword to all metacat source files so that the release
number will be evident in software distributions.

Fixed bugs associated with the new UPDATE and DELETE functions of
DBWriter. There were problematic interactions between some static
variables used in DBEntityResolver and the way in which the
Servlet objects are re-used across multiple client invocations....

Merged in substantial changes to DBWriter and associated classes and to
the MetaCatServlet in order to accomodate the new UPDATE and DELETE
functions. The command line tools and the parameters for the
servlet have changed substantially.

1) Simplified database connection creation by adding new utility routine in MetaCatUtil that reads configuration information from the properties file.
2) Created MetaCatUtil.getOption() to retrieve options from properties file.
3) Unified SAX Parser creation by specifying parser driver in the properties file and dynamically loading it using the XMLReaderFactory interface....
