Metacat

Fixed validation check for samplingDescription.

Changes to re-enable the nceas admindb access for the production install.

Removed some debugging test code that isn't needed.

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.

Modified LDAP authentication to support a lookup for the NRS system. If
the auth on the provided string fails as a DN, try to look up a new
DN based on the UID. If we get a match, use that DN for auth and see
if that works. This allows us to use a referral within the...

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).

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.

Modifications that allow working group entries to be put in as creators, and
a whole bunch of re-formatting for horribly formatted code that I need to
read to finish this thing up.

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.

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.

Added new function "getLastId" to the Metacat.pm perl Metacat client. Returns
the hisghest docid in use in a given scope.

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...

Improvements to Harvester single file upload servlets

Remove email notification from registry script.

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

Updated more tests on session reuse. Made the http calls set the sessionid
explicitly rather than relying on cookies being passed around statically.
Still need to modify HttpMessage to get rid of the static cookie.

Renamed the upgrade sql files to more understandable names, updated the
build file to include some new targets for running these files, and
updated the installation docs to clarify which upgrade scripts need to
be run and when.

New versions of the Metacat client API that allow access to the sessionId
so that a session can be reused over several different instances.

Fixed the sessionId handling code to now properly return the sessionId
in the login response message. Updated junit tests to test this issue.

Modified metacat to now provide the session identifier in the response
xml message when a login is called. This has not been fully tested.
I removed the HttpMessage class from metacat in favor of using the version
of that class that is found in the utilities module. This may cause some...

Fixed a bug for importing package

Add code to handle public id and system id.

Implement logout method.

Add a logout method.

Implemented the update and delete methods in the interface, along with tests.

Implemented the "insert()" method and wrote a test to test it. The new test
depends on the property "newdocid" be set to something unique in the build.xml
file so that the insert will work properly. Probably need to fix this to be
some kind of autoincrement counter or random number so that it can be run...

Refactored to use IOUtil routines. Reformatted for within-file consistency.

Implement query method.

Add metacatinaccessible exception for query.

Implemented the 'read' API call. Some more to go...

Wrote the login() function, the first of the series of API calls for
the metacat client to be implemented. Also wrote a test class to
test the API functionality.

If uploading failed, the inline data will be deleted either.

If xml document uploading failed, the inline data file will be deleted either.

Added a new subpackage (edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.client) which is a client
access library for the metacat. There is an interface (Metacat.java) that
provides simple access methods for the main metacat functions. This is to
support clients like Morpho and others that want to programatically access...

JAVA 1.3 doesn't support this FileWriter(File fileName, boolean append). But 1.4 does.
