Metacat

allow other Metacat process (system metadata and ORE generation) to directly insert objects and system metadata without having to go through the MN/CN methods.

sort the docids so that "old" revisions are processed before newer ones

only attempt to unlock a lock if it was created (in the finally block)

update tests to comply with these chenages:
new jars with many changes -- including new CN methods: ping, describe, listChecksumAlgorithm. Removed MN.setAccessPolicy. Refactored CN.setOwner() to CN.setRightsHolder().

refresh the SystemMetadata entry for EML and referenced data files when parsing EML access rules -- this ensures our in-memory system metadata map is up to date WRT the DB entries.

Using a branch name for the utilities project. This branch is a copy of the trunk and it uses the BSD license.
We will move this branch to a tag soon.

add revision history to the generated ORE objects -- we use the revision history of the EML package as a basis because the each ORE revision mirrors the revision of the EML package.
Add a placeholder for checking if an equivalent ORE map exists in the DataONE infrastructure - this will be a call to CN.search() that looks at the solr index for OREs based on the EML package ID.

Update the parameter names expected for listObjects() to reflect the MN API changes in the architecture docs.

Change the query semantics such that we implement the MN.listObjects() where the lower datetime bound is inclusive (greater than or equal to" and the upper datetime bound in exclusive (less than). This allows easier paging in client applications.
