Metacat

remove resolve() test -- not implemented in Metacat

handle data objects (not sci meta) and also set the resulting pid so that create() can succeed

catch exceptions from system meta data query and throw service failure rather than swallowing them with an error msg

Update getOperationStatistics() to reflect the change in the signature, using ObjectFormatIdentifier instead of ObjectFormat.

use super class' create() method
use string comparison for assertRelation method

beef up isAuthorized method to check for "public" access rules and also for the rights holder

Use 'synchronization_failed' for the event string in synchronizationFailed(), and add a TODO to use the event enum when the 0.6.3 types are updated.

return all public objects for the search() method [for now]

add space to error message

add the old ecogrid query code (still commented out) from the old Rest handler
