Metacat

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.

Harvester Class Diagram

Remove corrupted version

Revisions to the Harvester ERD diagram showing how I think the design can
be simplified to eliminate duplicate information. Needs further work
before it is implementable.

Harvester Class Diagram, class descriptions, sequence of operations.

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

Relocated to metacat/docs/dev/harvester

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 This has been replaced by harvestDocument.xsd now found in metacat/lib/harvester and metacatHarvesterERD.vsd (/metacat/docs/dev/harvester) which models the database tables to be added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

This is the metacat database schema with the additions for harvester.

moved document to metcat/test/harvest directory

This is a sample of a harvest document relocated from the metacat/lib 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.

Build changes that allow the registry install dependency on the beta
6 stylesheet converters to be automatically satisfied. Now, if the
webmdentry module hasn't been checked out, it is, but otherwise the
checkout is skipped. A similar technique could be used for the EML...

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

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...

Add harvester targets

Improvements to Harvester single file upload servlets

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

build props for production metacat on ecoinfo

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

added conditional setting of tomcat servlet.jar path, based on tomcat version in build properties

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

overhaul of ant build file. removed duplicate code for getting dtds and schema. Renamed these targets, pulled all code for copying xsl into a single target (still need separate targets for getting beta6 eml files nad eml2+ files, since older version uses dtds instead of schema.) In future, as eml versions are added, the geteml2+ target shoudl be updated to use the ant iterator class found in the utilities module - this would enable the cvs tags to be defined as a comma-delimited list, and then a common target can be called multile times to do the checkouts, instead of duplicating code. Also added description= attributes to all the targets that looked as if they shoudl be public. These now appear (with their descriptions) when the user types ant -projecthelp

changed getdtdschema tarhet to copy eml css to cvs source tree metacat/lib/style/common directory, same as the copy for the XSL stylesheets. Created new ant parameter to hold value of path lib/style/common.

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

Remove email notification from registry script.

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

added line to installCommon target that copies the metacat-client.jar to the WEB-INF/lib directory

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)....

Remove unneeded file Upload999.java

If the sessionid is null and user will be treated as public.

Get rid of doctype declare in transfer.

Set system id for transforming.

Modified a method and can be reused.

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,

If db pool size is maxium and no connection is free. The checkout will be wait.

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

Modified a debug Message.

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...

Add a new method to find document from queryspecification.

Revise code so it can be called directly.

Revied the class.

New class will be used in metacat ecogrid impl.

• empty log message ***

Added more debugging messgaes to the test in an attempt to find out
what is wrong with the cookies.

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.

Add the code copy jdbc file to web-info/lib dir. Because the oracle jdbc.jar is not in our lib dir.

Streamlined installation of jars in build file.

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...
