Metacat is a flexible database storage system for XML formatted |
| 23 | 23 |
documents. Metacat models the structure of the XML document, therefore |
| 24 | 24 |
allowing storage of XML documents with arbitrary schemas. Metacat supports |
| 25 |
several databases on the back-end, including Oracle, PostgeSQL and SQL Server.
|
|
| 26 |
The server supports XML document
|
|
| 27 |
storage, retrievel, query, validation, and transformation (using the XSLT
|
|
| 28 |
stylesheet language). In addition, there is a mechanism for replicating
|
|
| 29 |
the database to other metacat instances for backup and load balancing
|
|
| 30 |
purposes. Metacat currently uses an LDAP database for authenticating
|
|
| 31 |
users, but was written to accomodate other authentication services as well.

Updated README and build.xml in preparation for a new release. Looks to me
as though the dist and distsrc targets are not working properly because the
dist target produces a distribution with source code, which it should not
do. Need to check into this.
