Metacat

Improved the javadoc documentation for the upload() methods to clarify what upload() does and contrast it to insert() and update().

Created method "synchronized public InputStream sendParameters(Properties args) throws Exception".
Sends a request to Metacat. An alternative to the sentData method. Allows for sending multiple parameters with the same name, different names, or any combo.

Add a new method - query which can specify qformat.

Add new query method which can specify qformat.

Removed "Formatter" usage, to make java 1.4 compatible.

Refactored almost all of the JSP API methods and fields to a new package (edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.clientview).

Fixed bug: successfully removes related sub Doc ID's from metadata.
New functionality:
1) Updates field in FGDC metadata Doc ID with new version of Doc ID, and
2) Recurses sub-documents for deletion, when deleting an FGDC metadata Doc ID (deletes entire package).

Several newly developed methods providing a JSP API into metacat. Most of the new methods were developed to support FGDC metadata.
Some of the other new methods merely provide convenience to the JSP code. New methods include:
nextVersion, getFGDCdistinfo, addDistInfoToFGDC, vectorToHtmlSelect, mapToHtmlSelect, htmlInput, getSessValue, setSessValue, query, getSelectQueryMap,...

Modified method "doMetadataUpload". Improved file type parsing. Also changed call to "upload", to send Integer.MAX_VALUE as the file size,
since file size is not available until read (i.e. "Content-Length", which is available, isn't the same as the individual file sizes)....

Metacat JSP API Additions. The new methods currently only handle inserts of new metadata files and related data files. It also handles instance creation and login support, with
a few convenience methodes intended to be called by a JSP file.
Update and delete support will be added. Also, the new methods currently only handle FGDC metadata files. More XML grammars will be added.
