Metacat

Fixed bug that if Writer object is null, code will generate null exception

This update includes tech support emails for LTER and UCNRS.

Remove the access query for return field since we remove the partial tree access control in eml.

removed a bunch of commented out code

got a better version of paging working. still needs to be cleaned up and debugged more.

Fix bug that if there is a search value is different to others, the query wouold work.

Added a new class called Sitemap that is used to generate a series of XML documents representing the URLs of metacat documents following the sitemap protocol. The Sitemap class extends TimerTask so that it can be scheduled to run once a day or so. New configuration options were added to metacat.properties to control where the sitemaps are written and hw often they are updated. By default we do it once a day, as more often is overkill for search engines....

Added servlet mapping that allows PATHINFO to be passed to the metacat servlet for use in URL handling for READ action.

transfer to value to upper case.

Added new feature to allow metacat documents to be retrieved from a URL that does not use the query url syntax, instead embedding the docid and qformat in the url path, as in this example:
http://localhost:8180/knb/metacat/test.1.1/knb
This format allows clients to read documents without entering a query URL, which will be used in a subsequent step to allow search engines to better index metacat content.
