Metacat

ignore commented out DOCTYPE declarations (don't force validation on them)

Get rid of the ant tokens and the relative paths by using the context url and cgi prefix provided by the settings.jsp.
Now the "short form" of urls will work with the iframe skins. sanparks and saeon can also be set as the "default" skin and the paths will resolve correctly....

include the contextURL parameter that is now being passed in by the DBTransform class.
pass this value to the javascript that assembles the iframes

check for a leading "/" in the path when prepending the server context url.
we don't want to step on toes of people that are using "semi" relative paths (they leave out the server part, but provide the rest of the path)

add debug statements so it's clear what transformer parameters are being passed

Use dev=1 replace dev like '1'. since postgres 8.3 doesn't support it.

-use jsp rather than html files so hat the server context can be looked up on the fly (as well as additional options from the MetacatUtil class).
-incorporate the use of relative paths in the XML configuration (doctype=>stylesheet mapping)

Note: still using ant tokens in the .cfg file used for perl...not sure how to convert that.

include contextURL and cgi-prefix as parameters in all the transforms (initially used for nceas skin to remove ant tokens in the XSL files....but will be used by other skins as they are converted away from at tokens)

use cgi-prefix from build properties to configure the default skin for login.
removed hardcoded "ldap.ecoinformatics.org" reference in the jsp and reads it from the metacat.properties file.

Note: still uses ant token from the build.properties file, but at least centralizes the spot where the token needs to be dealt with.

Add debug info for special charater.
