Metacat

Roll back replication user changes. Fix code that converts access levels to integer and to text.

Introduce replication user. Use the fileutil writer methods instead of writing directly.

Beef up exception handling from file utilities. Move UtilException to MetacatUtilException to eliminate conflict with similar exception in utility package.

Separate the concept of a backup file location and a metacat external directory location. These can be totally different.

Make sure and write the shortcut to the backup directory to a directory in the users home.

Allow for backup properties to be written to context based subdirectory of the external configuration directory. This allow multiple instances of metacat to be run side by side.

Handle sessions with null ids gracefully.

Do not throw exception when skin metadata file is missing. Instead, remove the skin from the available skins list, write an error message to the log and continue on. This was already done for the skins properties file.

Check for null session ID when touching session.

Do not back up password properties
