|
Installing Metacat requires a server running an SQL92 compliant database
|
| 63 |
|
|
(Oracle 8i recommended) with at least 128MB RAM, and a Pentium III class
|
| 64 |
|
|
processor or higher. The amount of disk space required depends on the
|
| 65 |
|
|
size of your RDBMS tablespace (which should be at least 10 MB,
|
| 66 |
|
|
however Metacat itself requires only about 1 MB of free space after
|
| 67 |
|
|
installation. These instructions assume a Linux environment but may
|
| 68 |
|
|
work on other UNIX type environments, however this has not been tested.

<p class = "header">Additional Required Software</p>

The server on which you wish to install Metacat must have the following
|
| 73 |
|
|
software installed and running correctly before attempting to install
|
| 74 |
|
|
Metacat.

<p>
|
| 97 |
|
|
The Oracle RDBMS must be installed and running as a daemon on the system.
|
| 98 |
|
|
In addition the JDBC listener must be enabled. You can enable it by
|
| 99 |
|
|
logging in as your Oracle user and typing the following:
|
| 100 |
|
|
<pre>lsnrctl start</pre>
|
| 101 |
|
|
Your instance should have a table space of at least 5 MB (10 MB or higher
|
| 102 |
|
|
recommended). You should also have a username specific to Metacat
|
| 103 |
|
|
created and enabled. This user must have most normal permissions
|
| 104 |
|
|
including CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TRIGGER,
|
| 105 |
|
|
EXECUTE PROCEDURE, EXECUTE TYPE, etc. If an action is unexplainably
|
| 106 |
|
|
rejected by Metacat it is probably because the user permissions are not
|
| 107 |
|
|
correctly set.

<p class="header">Ant</p>
|
| 110 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 111 |
|
|
Ant is a Java based build application similar to Make on UNIX systems.
|
| 112 |
|
|
It takes in installation parameters from a file in the root installation
|
| 113 |
|
|
directory named "build.xml". The Metacat CVS module contains a default
|
| 114 |
|
|
build.xml file that may require some modification upon installation. Ant
|
| 115 |
|
|
Should be installed on the system and the "ant" executable shell script
|
| 116 |
|
|
should be available in the users path.
|
| 117 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 118 |
|
|
<p class="header">Tomcat</p>
|
| 119 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 120 |
|
|
Install tomcat into the directory of your choice. The directory in which
|
| 121 |
|
|
you install Tomcat itself will be referred to as the "{Tomcat install
|
| 122 |
|
|
directory}". This install assumes Tomcat version 3.1. The Tomcat configuration
|
| 123 |
|
|
will be slightly different depending on what version of Tomcat you are running.
|
| 124 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 125 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 126 |
|
|
You must now set up your servlet context. Change to the {Tomcat install
|
| 127 |
|
|
directory}/conf. Edit the tomcat.conf file. Find a line that looks like:
|
| 128 |
|
|
<pre>ApJServMount /examples /root</pre>
|
| 129 |
|
|
Add the following line below the aforementioned text:
|
| 130 |
|
|
<pre>ApJServMount /metadata /root</pre>
|
| 131 |
|
|
Save tomcat.conf.
|
| 132 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 133 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 134 |
|
|
Edit the server.xml file. Go to the bottom of the file. Find the line that
|
| 135 |
|
|
says:
|
| 136 |
|
|
<pre><Context path="/examples" docbase="/webapps/examples" debug="0" reloadable="true" >
|
| 137 |
|
|
</Context></pre>
|
| 138 |
|
|
Directly below these lines enter the following:
|
| 139 |
|
|
<pre><Context path="/metadata" docbase="/opt/tomcat/webapps/metadata" debug="0" reloadable="true" >
|
| 140 |
|
|
</Context></pre>
|
| 141 |
|
|
Save server.xml.
|
| 142 |
|
|
<div class="emphasis">Note that capital "C" on "Context". This MUST be a
|
| 143 |
|
|
capital "C". Also note that "metadata" is an arbitrary servlet name. You
|
| 144 |
|
|
may pick whatever servlet name you wish.</div>
|
| 145 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 146 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 147 |
|
|
After setting up Tomcat, you must make a slight modification to the startup
|
| 148 |
|
|
script. Tomcat needs to know about special protocol handlers that Metacat
|
| 149 |
|
|
uses for its URLs. Find the line in the tomcat.sh file that says
|
| 150 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 151 |
|
|
if [ "$TOMCAT_OPTS" = "" ] ; then
|
| 152 |
|
|
TOMCAT_OPTS=""
|
| 153 |
|
|
fi
|
| 154 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 155 |
|
|
It should be on about line 65. You need to comment out the TOMCAT_OPTS
|
| 156 |
|
|
entry that is there and add the following:
|
| 157 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 158 |
|
|
TOMCAT_OPTS="-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=edu.ucsb.nceas.protocols"
|
| 159 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 160 |
|
|
When you are done the if statement should look like:
|
| 161 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 162 |
|
|
if [ "$TOMCAT_OPTS" = "" ] ; then
|
| 163 |
|
|
#TOMCAT_OPTS=""
|
| 164 |
|
|
TOMCAT_OPTS="-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=edu.ucsb.nceas.protocols"
|
| 165 |
|
|
fi
|
| 166 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 167 |
|
|
You must also complete the <a href="#protocol">protocol.jar</a> step below
|
| 168 |
|
|
for this to be completely
|
| 169 |
|
|
setup. Also, make sure that this startup script is always used to start
|
| 170 |
|
|
tomcat or the parameter will not be set correctly and some features of
|
| 171 |
|
|
Metacat will not work.
|
| 172 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 173 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 174 |
|
|
Your servlet context should now be setup. The next step is giving Tomcat
|
| 175 |
|
|
something to run in that context (i.e. Metacat).

Once all of the prerequisite software is installed as described above,
|
| 187 |
|
|
the installation of Metacat can begin. First you must have a current
|
| 188 |
|
|
version of the source distribution of Metacat. You can get it two ways.
|
| 189 |
|
|
Authorized users can check it out of the NCEAS
|
| 190 |
|
|
<a href="http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/xmltodb/">CVS</a>
|
| 191 |
|
|
system under the module name xmltodb. The command is as follows:
|
| 192 |
880
|
jones
|
<pre>cvs checkout -P xmltodb</pre> Or you can
|
| 193 |
878
|
berkley
|
<a href="@server@/software/download.html">download</a> a gzipped tar file
|
| 194 |
|

|
| 195 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 196 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 197 |
|
|
Once you have either checked out or unzipped and untarred the source
|
| 198 |
|
|
distribution, you can begin the installation process. Change into the
|
| 199 |
|
|
xmltodb directory and edit the file called "build.xml". The top of a

| 200 |
|
|
sample build.xml file is shown below.

|
|
installdir, web-base-url, replication-path, servlet-path, html-path,
|
| 232 |
|
|
image-path, style-path, server, replication-log, user and password.

The jdbc-connect parameter is the JDBC connection string needed to connect
|
| 238 |
880
|
jones
|
to your database.

|
</li>
|

|
The dbDriver parameter is the name of the JDBC driver class to use for
|
| 242 |
|
|
connections to your database. If you are not using Oracle, you will also
|
| 243 |
|
|
need to change the name of the database adapter class in the dbAdapter
|
| 244 |
|
|
property in the <a href="./properties.html"?>metacat.properties</a> file.
|

|
|
<li>
|
| 247 |
878

berkley
|
The installdir
|
| 248 |
|
|
parameter is the directory that you want Ant to install the servlet to.
|
| 249 |
|
|
It is your "servlet context path" that was defined above.
|
| 250 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 251 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 252 |
880
|

|
Web-base-url is the URL from which you want to load any stylesheets
|
| 253 |
|
|
or supplementary images.
|
| 254 |
878

berkley
|
</li>

|
Replication path is the relative path to the replication servlet. This
|
| 257 |
878
|
berkley
|
should be the name of your servlet followed by "/servlet/replication".
|
| 258 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 259 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 260 |
|
|
The servlet path is the relative path to your servlet as viewed by the
|
| 261 |
|
|
Tomcat or Apache web server. Under Tomcat, the form is usually
|
| 262 |
|
|
<pre>/<servlet-context-name>/servlet/<servlet-name></pre>
|
| 263 |
|
|
In the example above "metadata" is the name of the servlet context and
|
| 264 |
|
|
"metacat" is the name of the servlet.
|
| 265 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 266 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 267 |
|
|
The html-path is usually the first directory of the servlet-path. The only
|
| 268 |
|
|
reason it wouldn't be is if you are doing something with your web server
|
| 269 |
|
|
and you want the html served from a different location than where the
|
| 270 |
|
|
servlet is located.
|
| 271 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 272 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 273 |
|
|
The image-path is where you want the Metacat image files stored. It
|
| 274 |
|
|
should be a directory that is accessible by the web server.
|
| 275 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 276 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 277 |
|
|
Server is the full internet name of the server on which Metacat is running.
|
| 278 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 279 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 280 |
|
|
Replication-log is the location at which you want Metacat to place any
|
| 281 |

The user and password parmaters are the database user name that you set up

to use Metacat, for example an Oracle username and password.

The config-dir parameter specifies the location of the configuration files
|
| 290 |
|
|
for the "style-sets" feature. It is set by default to the installation
|
| 291 |
|
|
directory and generally does not need to be changed.

|
| 293 |

The default-style parameter defines the "style-set" that is to be used
|
| 295 |
|
|
by default when the qformat parameter is missing or set to "html" during
|
| 296 |
|
|
a query. It is set to "knb", which is the only style that ships with the
|
| 297 |
|
|
default metacat distribution. If you create your own stylesheets for
|
| 298 |
|
|
displaying metacat output, you may want to create a new config file in the
|
| 299 |
|
|
config-dir (e.g., mystyle.xml) and then change the default-style to use
|
| 300 |
|
|
your custom style (e.g., "mystyle").

The eml-module, eml-version, eml-tag parameters control the installation

behavior with respect to EML. You should not need to change these paramters.

not need to change it.

You now need to set up the table structure in your database. Change to the
|
| 318 |
|
|
xmltodb/src directory. Then run you RDBMS's SQL utility. In Oracle it is
|
| 319 |
|
|
SQLPlus. This tutorial assumes an Oracle database so this example is for
|
| 320 |
|
|
SQLPlus. Login as the oracle user that was set up for use with Metacat.
|
| 321 |
|
|
At the SQLPlus prompt type the following: <pre>@xmltables.sql;</pre>
|
| 322 |
|
|
You should see a bunch of output showing the creation of the Metacat table
|
| 323 |
|
|
space. The first time you run this script you will get several errors at the
|
| 324 |
|
|
beginning saying that you cannot drop a table/index/trigger because it
|
| 325 |
|
|
does not exist. This is normal. Any other errors besides this need to be
|
| 326 |
|
|
resolved before continuing.
|
| 327 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 328 |

If the script has run correctly you should be able to type

Now we are ready to finish setting up Tomcat by creating the protocol.jar
|
| 360 |
|
|
file. To do this, change into the xmltodb directory and type
|
| 361 |
|
|
<pre>ant protocol</pre>
|
| 362 |
|
|
When it is done and says "BUILD SUCCESSFUL", change into the 'build'
|
| 363 |
|
|
directory. There will be a file there called 'protocol.jar'. Now, copy
|
| 364 |
|
|
that file to {tomcat install directory}/lib/protocol.jar. In our case:
|
| 365 |
|
|
<pre>cp protocol.jar /usr/local/devtools/jakarta-tomcat/lib/.</pre>
|
| 366 |
|
|
<div class="emphasis">Note that once you have installed the protocol handlers
|
| 367 |
|
|
you do not need to install them again. You can recompile Metacat and install
|
| 368 |
|
|
it without having to go through this process again.</div>
|
| 369 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 370 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 371 |
|
|
Once the protocol.jar file is compiled and copied, you are ready to compile
|
| 372 |
|
|
and install
|
| 373 |
|
|
Metacat. Ant allows compilation and installation to be done in one step.
|
| 374 |
|
|
Change into the xmltodb directory and type:
|
| 375 |
|
|
<pre>ant install</pre>
|
| 376 |
|
|
You should see a bunch of messages telling you the progress of compilation
|
| 377 |
|
|
and installation. When it is done you should see the message BUILD SUCCESSFUL
|
| 378 |
|
|
and you should be returned to a UNIX command prompt. If you do not see
|
| 379 |
|
|
the message BUILD SUCCESSFUL then there was an error that you need to resolve.
|
| 380 |
|
|
This may come up if you are logged in as a user that does not have write
|
| 381 |
|
|
access to one or more of the directories that are listed in the build.xml
|
| 382 |
|
|
file.

|
<p>Once metacat itself is installed, you have the option of also installing
|
| 385 |
|
|
the Ecological Metadata Language (EML) DTDs. This process is done most
|
| 386 |
|
|
easily by running "ant instdtd" which copies the DTDs to the installation
|
| 387 |
|
|
directory, and then "ant dtdsql" which registers the DTDs with the
|
| 388 |
|
|
metacat server. Your database username and password have to be set correctly
|
| 389 |
|
|
for this to work.

|
Once you have successfully installed Metacat, there is one more step. Tomcat
|
| 392 |
|
|
(and Apache if you have Tomcat integrated with it) must be restarted. To do
|
| 393 |
|
|
this go to {Tomcat install directory}/bin and type
|
| 394 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 395 |
|
|
./tomcat.sh stop
|
| 396 |
|
|
./tomcat.sh start
|
| 397 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 398 |
|
|
In the Tomcat startup messages you should see something like:
|
| 399 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 400 |
|
|
MetacatServlet Initialize
|
| 401 |
|
|
Context log path="/metadata" :Metacat: init
|
| 402 |
|
|
MetacatServlet Initialize
|
| 403 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 404 |
|
|
If you see that message Tomcat is successfully loading the Metacat servlet.
|
| 405 |
|
|
Next, try to run your new servlet. Go to a web browser and type:
|
| 406 |
|
|
<pre>http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/metadata/</pre>
|
| 407 |
|
|
If everything is working correctly, you should see a query page followed
|
| 408 |
880
|
jones
|
by an empty result set. Note that if you do not have Tomcat integrated with
|
| 409 |
878
|
berkley
|
Apache you will probably have to type
|
| 410 |
|
|
<pre>http://yourserver.yourdomain.com:8080/metadata/</pre>
