Metacat

Add a new transferm method for string reader.

Reformatted DBQuery.java for readability and consistency.

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.

Moved decision about whether to use xml_index for
query to the metacat.properties as "usexmlindex". Default
is now false. Still have some refactoring to do to remove a
few more uses of the xml_index table.

Created new printExtendedSQL function that can get the extended
return fields using only xml_nodes and not xml_index. One
step closer to eliminating the dependence ofn xml_index.

Fixed the bug for sessionid storing, revision couldn't be zero and Ldap DN is case sensitive.

Replaced Hash table with Vector of Vector datastructure in getting <param> from Query. This was done so that the results are represented in same order as they appeared in the 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...

Add a new method to find document from queryspecification.

Field data will be normalized.

Fixed a bug which cause infinite loop.

Add access control for return fields.

Add access control for return fields in the subtree.

Change the code to handle permission checking.

If a text node was split into two parts, now it will be combined.

Merge the code to handle export single document.

Support return field has attributes.

Change the code for percentage search.

Fixed a bug that after finding a non-dataset document, then go back to find dataset document for it in xml_relation table.

Create a shortcut for the query to get user's onwer doc lists. Create a private method named getOwnerQuery. If the coming query equals the owner query, the access permission checking would NOT append to the comming query. Because the owner has all permission.

Add the checking permission query into orignal query.

Delete the code for permission checking in execute extened query. It was redundant. Add some debug message for displaying search time.

Merge cvs branch replication to cvs head.

Merge DBConnection branch to head.

Add debugMessage level in this class

fixed my tagging error

some small changes I had to make to get the QAENGINE demo to work right. this should be committing in a branch

Add a throwing exception in haspermission method.

Access document was added to exported data package too.

When user request a data package, the old version documents would be exported. Only export the request one.

During the export function. Every document will be check if the user has the permission to read or not.

A new method named hasPermissionToExportPackage was added. So when MetaCat handle export action, it will check if user has permission to read the data package. If it has, MetaCat will export a zip output stream to it. Otherwise, MetaCat will be through a exception.

A public method named getZippedPackage() and other relative private methods were add to this class. The public method can give a zip output stream if a docid and other parameters were passed to it.

fixed bug with ampersands in the returned relations in the resultset.

Fixed bug in metacat where an Exception was thrown when a search returned
an empty resultset. Now we avoid the function call that threw the exeption.

fixed an error of NullPointerException

fixed error with out of cursors error because pstmts were not getting closed in DBQuery

added support for multiple group membership

Added fix to DocumentImpl that showed problems when the DocumentImpl(conn)
constructor was called. Now there is a new constructor:
DocumentImpl(Connection, String, boolean)
where the boolean value is used to determine if the nodeset should be
read a t the time the cosntructor is called. if false, then...

added constructor in DocumentImpl for use in DBQuery.findDocuments();
this new constructor is used with getDocumentInfo() to get the doc info only;
because the other constructor builds the whole xml doc which is not needed here and time consuming;
this happens on backtracking only.

MS SQL Server stores trailing spaces in varchar fields which shouldn't be
thus added docid.trim() in the Java code

the ODBC multi-threading problem:
in DBQuery we open ResultSet in the db connection and we are trying to
open another Resultset by AccessControlList which does not work
thus open separate connection for use by AccessControlList.

Fixed bug in metacat where return doctypes were not being properly
back traced. Changed DBQuery.findDocuments() so that it no longer
takes a returndoc array, but instead retrieves the returndoc array
fromthe QUERYSpecification. The QuerySpecification was augmented...

Added ability to process multiple "returndoc" elements in
a pathquery document. Now, any query hit will be back traced to an
associated package if that package is listed in one of the
"returndoctype" elements.

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"...

as John were testing Metacat on postgres,
he discovered that Connection needs more precise check
whether it is open because of db timing outs.
So used to be:
if ( conn null ) { get new connection from db; }
Now changed to:
if ( conn null || conn.isClosed() ) { get new connection from db; }...

added print info and timing info

included flag in DBQuery to run pathqueries with or without the index,
but for the command line only.

added timing info to main

there were more mentions of DOCTITLE attr - cleared them

added precise location information (class.method) to each catch statement so that errors are more easily traced.

removed print statements

fixed typo

fixed introduced problem with preparedStatements

Added license terms to source code files, and cleaned up some javadoc
documentation in a few places.

closed all preparedStatement variables

fixed sql error

removed package doctype filtering from the resultset.

fixed typo

commented out print statement

problems with passing the connection between objects

overwrite Jivka's overwrite

problem with passing the connection between objects

problem with passing the connection between objects

removed print statement

fixed bug where some relations were not returned because the sql did not take into account an sql that had a directory structure in it.

AccessControlList
- methods for parsing and loading acl file
- checkup method for permission for given principal on given resource
DBQuery
- checkup for READ permission using AccessControlList.hasPermission()
DocumentImpl
- using AccessControlList object to parse and load an acl file into xml_access table...

Modified stylesheets and server code to use a single "read" action instead
of the earlier "getdocument" and "getrelateddocument" actions. In the
process, developed and started to utilize a new suite of URL "protocol
handlers" that are in the package "edu.ucsb.nceas.protocols" and handle...

fixed bug/typo

Modified pathquery.dtd and QuerySpecification to allow some new constraints
on queries submitted to Metacat. Now, queries can contain an optional
set of <owner> tags that identify the users for which documents should be
returned, and a list of <site> tags constraining the site identifiers...

changed naming scheme

added functionality to return the doctype of a relation in a relationdoctype tag. This information is now returned automatically in the resultset under the path resultset/relation/relationdoctype.

removed system.out.printlns

added support for urls of the form "metacat://server.xyz.com?docid=XXX:yy"

Added backtrack functionality. Backtracking works by passing a returndoc parameter. There can be more than one. If a document that is hit by a query is not of type returndoc then it searches the database for a related file of type returndoc. If one is found it is displayed, if no relation is found, the original is displayed....

Added functionality for package specifications. metacatservlet now contains a new action called getrelateddocument that handles retrieving related documents using the metacatURL specification (metacatURL.java). DBQuery contains new code in runQuery that embeds relation tags in the returned hashtable describing the documents related to each docid. querySpecification contains a new method which prints the sql that does the relation query.

added check from "read" permission on "query" and "squery" actions
for connected user or for "public" connection

Added a method called getNodeContent which retrieves the content of a node in a document. If there are more than one nodes with the same name returned, it returns an array with all of the data.

changed xslf for new returnfield scheme. the returnfields are now returned as <param name="<returnfield>"> tags.
hThe sql for the returnfield query was redone to fix a previous problem with slow queries

changed the field names to be case-sensitive in the returnfields

added support for the returnfield parameter
-added the dynamic parameters to the returned hash table of documents

Made changes to createSQuery to allow for multiple parameters of the same name. Also changed the param list to include only "Hashtable params" without a "String doctype" since the doctype is already contained in the params.

Added createSQuery() to handle structured queries of an arbitrary number of parameters. Also modified createQuery() to handle a null query in a graceful manner.

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

added createSQuery

no message

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....

cleaned up code for getting options from the properties file, made the database connection inthe MetaCatUtil class use the properties file for the conneciton info

integrated new structured query facility (DBQuery) into the servlet demo (MetaCatServlet)

removed debugging code

fixed QuerySpecification to produce SQL that does UNION or INTERSECT set operations for query group combinations

completed work on creating structured query prototype in DBQuery and QuerySpecification classes

continued work on structured query. Now QuerySpecification generates SQL for a given xml input, and DBQuery uses that SQL to send the query to the db

added incomplete classes for structured query
