updated insert handling and added an action to request the time from a remote server.

created locking action in replication servlet and added semi-support to documentImpl to handle documents updatedee by replicatio

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 typo in create table syntax (added missing comma) for xml_access table.

Modified the build.xml file to support the new protocol handler classes,
which need to be built in a separate jar file bust it must be installed
as part of the tomcat servlet environment, not the web application. Now a
command of "ant protocol" will create the protocol.jar file, which must be...

Added a new URL protocol handler class for the metacat protocol. This
class will replace the current MetacatURL class in a much simpler and

Changed target of the javadoc builds to the build/docs/apiDocs directory

too much between each of the times we would generate them. Also, removed
the old javadoc documentation that was found in the "docs" subdirectory.

Updated the Javadoc documentation so that the current release can be provided
on the web site.

Fixed problem with AuthInterface, AuthLdap, and AuthMcat where the

Fixed the LDAP authentication adapter (AuthLdap.java) so that it now looks up

Fixed typo in stylesheet.

Various changes to improve consistency of the MARINE and METACAT user
interfaces as presented through the XSL->HTML conversions. Eliminated
one (extraneous) copy of the rowcol.css style sheet in favor of sharing
a single css stylesheet in xmltodb/lib/style/rowcol.css. Modified all...

changed the look of relations

Changed to prevent the insertion if the provided Accession# is in use as Dan suggested.
