Metacat

fix in the return of the last revisionid on UPDATE instead of the previous one

fixed the problem with empy password authentication.
Ldap somehow allows DirContext to be created
when empty password is provided as in our case
instead of comlaining like with wrong password string.
So included a check for empty password in order to reject the login.

as John were testing Metacat on postgres,
he discovered that Connection needs more precise check
whether it is open because of db timing outs.
So used to be:
if ( conn null ) { get new connection from db; }
Now changed to:
if ( conn null || conn.isClosed() ) { get new connection from db; }...

fix to view abstract only when abstractpath parameter was specified

put exception handler messages when acc# is not in the correct format as:
<sitecode>.<uniqueid>.[<revisionid>]

fix - added back generate(docid, action) method called from DataFileServer.java where rev is defaulted to 1

- changes to expect revisionid to come from the client on INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE;
now the client should send accession# as:
sitecode.uniqueid.revisionid
INSERT checks if sitecode.uniqueid part does not exist in xml_documents and xml_revisions and revisionid=1...

Tomcat has got configurated mime type mappings, but some are
missing. Thus added support for them in MetaCatServlet as:
File type > MIME type
------------- ----------------
.xml -> "text/xml"
.xsd -> "text/xml"
.dtd -> "text/plain"
.css -> "text/css"...

- merged "getabstract" and "getdatadoc" actions to "read" action;
- put MIME types everywhere for the returned data;
- zip when more than one doc/files were requested or when specified by qformat="zip" parameter;
- get rid of "relation" parameter, instead use "docid" parameter name only - when more that one docid - zip them;...
