     Metacat is a flexible database storage system for XML formatted
     documents. Metacat models the structure of the XML document, therefore
     allowing storage of XML documents with arbitrary schemas. Metacat supports

     Release Notes
     In this release, the sturcture of xml_replication table was changed. If you try
     to update a installed Metacat, you should run a script file to updated the table
     structure before installation.
     In this release, the structure of the xml_replication table was changed.
     If you try to update a previously installed Metacat, you should run a script
     file to updated the table structure before installation.
     For Oracle user: At the SQLPLUS prompt type the following -
     @src/xmlreplicationtable.sql
     For Postgresql user: At install directory prompt type the following -
     psql exp < src/xmlreplicationtable_postgres.sql
     (exp is the database name).
     (where 'exp' is the database name).
     If you a new Metacat user, don't need to do it.
     If you are a new Metacat user, this step is unneeded.
     Moreover, in build.xml it has a peroperty named datafilepath. It should be set
     as same as your current data file path for person who already installed Metacat
     before.
     The build.xml file now has a property named datafilepath. It should be set
     to the location of where you want your data files stored.  If you are an
     existing user, this directory should be /<tomcatdir>/webapps/metacat/data
     where <tomcatdir> is the your tomcat installation directory where
     your webapps directory is located and 'metacat' is the name of your servlet
     instance.

           access control rules of the main package document will not apply to the
